How the NMAT score is calculated
Total score = Language Skills + Quantitative Skills + Logical Reasoning. Each section is scaled from 12 to 120, so the total runs from 36 to 360.
| Section | Questions | Scaled score |
|---|---|---|
| Language Skills | 36 | 12 to 120 |
| Quantitative Skills | 36 | 12 to 120 |
| Logical Reasoning | 36 | 12 to 120 |

How to read your result
This is the one calculator on the site that uses an official table. GMAC publishes a percentile ranking for every total score, based on everyone who took the test in the last cycle. The percentile you see here is that published figure, not an estimate.
NMAT is adaptive: the next question depends on how you answered the last one. Two people with the same number of correct answers can get different scaled scores, and GMAC does not publish the conversion. That is why the calculator asks for your scaled scores and not your correct answers.
Many sites still show an older table in which 240 is the 99th percentile. In GMAC's current table, 240 is the 94th percentile and the 99th starts at 255. Check any cutoff you read against the official table.
