How to Calculate the Scores Using the CMAT Answer Key?

Once the CMAT Answer Key is available, candidates can estimate their raw score (out of 400) before the official result using the CMAT Marking Scheme. This helps in predicting percentiles, colleges, and cutoffs.

CMAT Marking Scheme

Response Type	Marks Awarded
Correct Answer	+4 marks
Incorrect Answer	–1 mark
Unattempted Question	0
Multiple Responses	–1 mark

CMAT Score Formula

Now, calculate your score by applying the marking scheme and using the formula:

CMAT Raw Score = (Correct Answers × 4) – (Incorrect Answers × 1)

Score Calculation

Marks from correct answers = 62 × 4 = 248
Negative marks = 18 × 1 = 18
Final CMAT Raw Score = 248 – 18 = 230 / 400

Parameter	Value
Total Questions	100
Correct Answers	62
Incorrect Answers	18
Unattempted	20

A score of 230+ generally places a candidate in the 95–98 percentile range, depending on exam difficulty and normalization trends.
