Verbal Ability Section

Difficulty level of the section was Moderate, with major increase in difficulty level happening due to the kind of questions asked in Reading Comprehension Questions. Antonyms and Synonyms were moderate, with 4 to 5 (for different question sets) of the 6 being from the words provided by us in NMAT Word List as the part of NMAT Courses. The toughest questions in the sections were Parajumbles. Rest all was doable in the section. Ideal attempts in the section will be 24-26, out of 32 questions in the section.

Quantitative Aptitude

Section was of Moderate to Difficult level. As expected, Data Interpretation and Arithmetic formed the highest proportion of the section. Data Sufficiency questions were based on topics varying from Geometry to Algebra to Numbers and were of moderate difficulty level. Data Interpretation has questions from Table, Pie Chart, Bar Graph and all were doable with some calculations. 31-33 will be a good attempt in the section, out of 48 questions.

Logical Reasoning

Section was of easy to moderate difficulty level yet again, with some really easy questions coming from topics like Critical Reasoning, Strong and Weak Argument, Statement Conclusion, Blood Relation etc. Moderate questions were from Coding, LR and Input/Output topics. 26-28 will be a good attempt in the section, out of 40 questions, majorly due to the sectional time limit.

NMAT 2020: Day 1- Slot 1- Test Analysis

Overview

The structure of the NMAT changed in 2020 - from a computer based test it became an Adaptive Test. As a result, the weightage allotted to difficult questions was higher than that allotted to easy questions. Students could not skip any questions and the level of difficulty of the next question depended on whether the previous attempt was correct or incorrect. Students, therefore, are advised to ensure that the initial set of questions are attempted correctly. Clicking the Next button without selecting an option resulted in the prompt ‘You must complete your answer to this question to continue’. The instructions for the test mentioned that unattempted questions at the close of the section would attract a penalty.

Overall, the test being adaptive, it rewarded the candidates with higher marks for more difficult questions. And, by not allowing the candidates to skip a question and by penalising the candidates for unattempted questions at the end of the test , the students were made to pay attention to not only accuracy but also to time management of the test. The adaptive format of the test also implied that the topic wise break-up of questions that individual students faced (given in the analysis) could show some variation.

However, largely, the topic-wise segmentation was in line with the sample test and what was published on the website.

The structure of the test was as follows:

Quantitative Skills

As per the feedback from a student, out of 36 questions in the Quantitative Skills section, 19 were on Mathematics, 12 on Data Interpretation and 5 on Data Sufficiency. Out of the 19 questions on Mathematics, 10 questions were on Arithmetic, 7 questions were on Modern Maths and 1 question each was on Numbers and Geometry. There were three sets on Data Interpretation. As mentioned earlier ,It is important to note that since the test was adaptive, there could be some variation in the topic wise breakup of the questions asked to different students.

There were three sets on Data Interpretation. One set on Tables involving a good amount of calculations, one set on Line graph which was observation based and one set on Bar Chart involving a moderate level of calculations.. Because of the nature of the presentation of the data, it required some effort to make sense of the data before the set could be attempted.

There were 5 questions on Data Sufficiency on various topics.

The Mathematics questions were dominated by Modern Maths and Arithmetic. There was no question on Algebra.

Following was a representative break-up of the Quantitative Skills Section (as per student feedback):

Logical Reasoning

NMAT-2020 underwent a change in the structure of the Logical Reasoning section. There were 18 questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning and 18 questions on Verbal Reasoning.

The Non-Verbal Reasoning questions consisted of set based questions as well as standalone questions. One question in Non-Verbal Reasoning also tested the concept of Venn Diagram in Mathematics.

Following is a representative break-up of Logical Reasoning section (as per student feedback):

Language Skills

Most students reported that the Language Skills section was difficult. It could be because the test was adaptive and they were taken to higher levels of difficulty as they started solving the section.
In a particular set, there were 3 RC passages, each about 450 to 550 words long. One passage was on the Education System in the country. It included Inference, Attitude and Specific Detail questions. The second one was on Economics. All the questions in this RC passage were application-based. The third passage in this set was on Art installation. There were reasoning-based questions based on this RC passage. All the passages had 4 questions each.

The Grammar and Vocabulary questions included: Spotting the error in the underlined parts of a sentence, fill in the blanks (double, prepositions-based); Jumbled paragraph, Word Analogies; There were no questions on Synonyms, Antonyms or meaning of phrases.

Following is a representative break-up of the Language Skills section:

While attempting the RC questions, students are advised to drag the slider of the vertical scroll bar to the bottom of the scroll box, attempt the question and then click ‘Next’ to navigate to the next question. In case of the slider not touching the bottom of the scroll box, the test-taker is prompted with a pop-up notification stating You have not viewed the entire screen. Make sure you scroll to every corner of the screen’

Miscellaneous

The User Interface of the test changed this year. The UI had three buttons at the bottom:

1. Help: To read the instructions
2. Colors: To select black font on white background / white font on black background (night mode)
3. Zoom: To select a view of 100%, 125% and 150% (approximate changes in font)
There was no Mark for Review button since this was an adaptive test.

Test-takers were presented with a scorecard at the end of the test.

No major technical glitches were reported from the test centres and the administration of the exam was smooth

Students are given the option to choose the order in which they want to take the three sections of the exam.

If any questions were left unattempted at the close of the section, there would be a popup on screen stating ‘You have run out of time for this section. However, if all questions were attempted, the interface would show another message ‘This completes the LS/LR/QS section’.

The test can be ended anytime by clicking the ‘End Test’ button in the final section.

When you go for your exam, ensure that you carry the following with you:

A. Primary ID
B. Secondary ID
C. Admit card
D. Confirmation email

The test centre staff will return the copy of your admit card after signing and affixing the stamp. Make sure that you retain the same because you will have to carry the same copy for later attempts in NMAT. You are allowed three attempts in NMAT after paying the necessary fees for each attempt.

(IMS mocks have been designed keeping in mind the range of difficulty that students can experience on the actual test)

The NMAT by GMAC™ exam is computer-delivered and gives each candidate a randomly generated test from a pool of questions, delivered one-at-a-time. The number of questions, difficulty levels, and the time limit for each of the sections is predetermined and, under normal administration conditions, are the same regardless of when and where the test is administered. Candidates have a choice of selecting the order/sequence of the test sections.

The NMAT by GMAC™ exam has three sections - Language Skills, Quantitative Skills and Logical Reasoning. Refer the below table for a detailed break-up of number of questions and allotted time.

Important notes:

• 3 Sections: Language Skills, Quantitative Skills, Logical Reasoning.
• Test takers can choose the order of sections.
• Each of the three sections is individually timed. Test takers need to answer and review the questions of a particular section within the allotted section time.
• If a test taker completes answering and reviewing a section before the allotted section time expires, he/she may choose either to revise the section or move to the next section, but the balance time cannot be added on to the next section timing.
• A test taker can review the sections of the exam within the allotted section time. The Review Screen at the end of every section will allow the test taker to either move directly to incomplete (unanswered) questions, flagged for review questions or review all or any questions. Once a test taker has moved ahead from one section to the next section, he/she will not be able to return to the previous section. Hence, test takers should complete (answering and reviewing) each of the three sections in their respective allotted time limits.
• NO ABILITY TO RETURN TO A SECTION AFTER LEAVING IT: Test takers need to answer the questions of each section within the allotted section time. Once the test taker completes a section, whether the test taker selects to move to the next section or if time runs out, the test taker will not be able to return to that section.
