Guide to a Top Score!

  • Know Your Game: Understanding the Syllabus

    • Language Skills (LS): This section tests your command of English. Think Reading Comprehension (RC), Vocabulary, and Grammar. Practice RCs daily to build speed. Word Power Made Easy is a classic for a reason it'll supercharge your vocabulary!

    • Logical Reasoning (LR): It’s a mix of puzzles and logic. Focus on time-savers like Critical Reasoning and Syllogisms, and be prepared for longer, more complex questions on Input/Output. Practice, practice, practice! The NMAT Official Guide is your best friend here.

    • Quantitative Skills (QS): High school math is the name of the game. Arithmetic is king, so master it. Data Interpretation (DI) can be tough and time-consuming, and since there’s no calculator, your mental math skills are critical. Brush up on shortcuts and formulas!

  • Play the Adaptive Game: Your Winning Strategy

    • The NMAT adapts to you: correct answers lead to harder questions. Your score isn't just about how many you get right, but how consistently you handle the tough questions.

    • Attempt Everything: There's no negative marking! Leaving a question unanswered is the biggest mistake you can make. Always make a guess if you're stuck.

    • Section Order Matters: The NMAT lets you choose the order of sections. Start with your strongest section to build confidence and momentum.

  • The 3-Phase Attack: Elevate, Consolidate, Accelerate

    • Phase 1: Elevate: In the beginning of each section, focus on getting the first few questions absolutely right. This will "elevate" the difficulty level of the questions you're getting, which is key for a high score.

    • Phase 2: Consolidate: In the middle of the section, aim for consistent accuracy. Take calculated risks to keep the difficulty level high without wasting too much time.

    • Phase 3: Accelerate: In the final minutes, speed up to ensure you attempt every question. A quick, educated guess is better than a blank answer.
