2023 Exam Analysis
MAT is conducted 4 times in a year. MAT exam paper is divided into 5 sections, each comprising 40 questions. The difficulty level of the exam is usually easy to moderate.
Test-takers can have a look at the MAT February exam analysis to get an idea about the exam pattern.
Language Comprehension:This section predominantly featured questions on Reading Comprehension. There were four passages of about 400-450 words with each passage comprising five questions. The questions in all the passages were mostly of the same pattern. There were three questions each on Antonyms, Fill in the Blanks and Odd Word Out. As usual, in Antonyms and Odd Word Out questions, the words were given in jumbled form that had to be first rearranged before arriving at the correct antonym or the odd word. This made these questions a little time consuming. There were four questions each on Para Jumbles and Summary. In Grammar, there were three questions on Sentence Correction. Overall, the section was of easy to moderate level of difficulty.
