MAT 2007 Analysis

MAT 2007 Analysis    

Time and again, there has been consensus that MAT has its own beauty. This time again it was able to maintain that. This year, in sync with earlier trends, the test comprised 200 questions to be solved in 150 minutes. All five sections were separate; whish is not usually the case. While there was 1 mark allotted for each correct answer, 1/4 negative mark was specified for every wrong answer.

On the whole, the test was SIMPLE and EASILY MANAGEABLE. As such, no benchmarks can be provided for MAT. We would like to suggest that if you have attempted approximately 130+ questions with at least 90% accuracy, you should be in a position to get calls from the institutes you applied to.

Salient Features:
Total Question: 200
