MAT Mock Test 2026

A free MAT mock test series on the AIMA pattern. The paper runs 150 questions in 120 minutes for 150 marks, across five equal 30-question sections, one of which is Economic and Business Environment. Every MAT online test here is free to attempt and returns a section-wise result.

Economic and Business Environment is a fifth of this paper and appears on almost no other MBA entrance. Thirty questions on business awareness sit alongside Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, and Data Analysis and Sufficiency, all equally weighted, so a candidate arriving from CAT preparation covers four sections and misses one entirely. It is also the most directly learnable of the five. Pace is the other constraint: 150 questions in 120 minutes is 48 seconds each, faster than most exams at this level, with no sectional time limit to structure it for you. A wrong answer costs 0.25 against 1, so break-even is one in five.

MAT exam pattern

Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, and Data Analysis and Sufficiency

Official 2026 pattern
Questions: 150
Marks: 150
Duration: 120 minutes

Language Comprehension · Intelligence and Critical Reasoning · Mathematical Skills · Data Analysis and Sufficiency · Economic and Business Environment. Negative marking: 0.25 per wrong answer. Single composite 120-minute timer for all five sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's own no-sectional-time-limit rule.

The official MAT (conducted by AIMA) has 150 questions for 150 marks in 120 minutes, 1 mark for each correct answer and 0.25 negative marking for each wrong answer, with no sectional time limit, across five equal 30-question sections: Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, and Economic and Business Environment. This mock covers the four skill-based sections in the same proportion, scaled down: 40 questions (10 per section), with the same single composite timer, no sectional lock, and the same +1/-0.25 marking scheme. Economic and Business Environment is not covered, since its official syllabus tests business and economics fact recall rather than reasoning applied to a stated scenario, the same content-risk boundary applied to CMAT's Innovation and Entrepreneurship section and CA Foundation's Business Economics paper.

Frequently asked questions

How many MAT mock tests are available here?

This page currently has 10 syllabus-checked tests for MAT: 2 full-length mocks, and 8 sectional tests.

Are these MAT tests based on the official pattern?

Yes. Every checked MAT test matches the official pattern's question count, marks, duration and negative marking, and the source document is linked with the date it was last read. For the paper, that is 150 questions for 150 marks in 120 minutes.

How long does a MAT mock test take?

A full-length MAT mock here runs 32 minutes, matching the official working time for the paper it reproduces. The timer starts when you begin and the test submits itself when time runs out, so it is worth starting one only when you can sit it through. The shorter tests on this page run from 8 minutes, for when you do not have a full sitting free.

Do these MAT mock tests have negative marking?

Yes. Every MAT test here deducts 0.25 marks for a wrong answer and scores an unanswered question zero, the same as the official scheme it is checked against. Your result breaks out what the deduction cost you, so you can see whether guessing helped or hurt.

Should I start with a full-length MAT mock or a sectional test?

Start with a full-length mock if you have not sat the whole MAT paper under its official timer before: it is the only thing here that tells you whether you can finish in time. Move to the 8 sectional tests once the full mock has shown you which section is costing you marks, and use them to rebuild that one section rather than re-sitting the whole paper each time.

Are these MAT mock tests free?

Yes. All 10 MAT tests on this page are free to attempt, with no account and no paid tier holding back better questions.
