The Common Admission Test (CAT), like virtually all large-scale exams, utilizes multiple forms, or versions, of the test. Hence there are two types of scores involved: a raw score and a scaled score.

Test Duration and Pattern

Four scaled scores will be presented for each candidate: an overall scaled score and three separate scaled scores for each section.

As the three sections evaluate distinct sets of knowledge and skills, scores do not correlate across sections.

A high score in one section does not guarantee a high score in another section. Percentile rankings are provided for each individual section as well as for the overall exam score.

CAT is divided into three sections:
• Quantitative Aptitude (QA) having 34 questions
• Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) with 32 questions
• Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VRC) with 34 questions

The total duration for the exam was 180 minutes and had 100 questions.
