What is the pattern of a CMAT sample paper?
A CMAT sample paper copies the official pattern from the latest bulletin, so you practise with the same sections and marks.
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation | 20 | 80 |
| Logical Reasoning | 20 | 80 |
| Language Comprehension | 20 | 80 |
| General Awareness | 20 | 80 |
| Innovation and Entrepreneurship | 20 | 80 |
| Total | 100 | 400 |
The paper is 180 minutes long. A correct answer gets 4 marks and a wrong answer loses 1 mark.
How should I use the CMAT sample paper?
- Finish most of the syllabus before your first full paper.
- Sit for 180 minutes with a timer, without a calculator, as in the real exam.
- Answer only when you are fairly sure, since each wrong answer costs 1 mark.
- Check your answers, score yourself with (correct x 4) – (wrong x 1) and list the topics you got wrong.
- Revise those topics and take the next paper a week later.
