Expert take: what NMAT really tests
NMAT is defined by two things — no negative marking and a self-scheduled, up-to-three-attempts format — so it rewards speed and attempting everything far more than caution. With 108 questions in 120 minutes, pace is the real constraint, and the retake option lets your first sitting be a genuine, low-risk rehearsal.
Preparation tips
- Attempt every question — with no penalty, a guess can only help your score.
- Drill the per-section timing; each of the three sections is separately clocked.
- Use the multi-attempt option deliberately, treating an early attempt as a graded mock.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving questions blank out of CAT-style caution — it simply forfeits free marks here.
- Mismanaging the section clocks and running out of time on an otherwise easy section.
