Management Aptitude Test and Test Scores

1. The Management Aptitude Test (MAT) is designed to measure the aptitude of a candidate for pursuing management education and
should be used only for this purpose.
2. MAT is administered in five sections - Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis & Sufficiency, Intelligence &
Critical Reasoning and Economic & Business Environment - each section testing a different ability relevant for management education.
3. All MAT administrations necessarily have different questions. Thus, one administration may be slightly more difficult or less difficult
than another. Normalization and Scaling have been used to take care of these differences.
4. Normalized scores across multi session papers are based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the test. The raw
marks obtained are transformed into Normalized Score. Normalized scores are further scaled.
5. The scaled scores reported are standardized scores for respective sections. These scores are reported on a scale of 0 to 100.
6. The percentile below column indicates the percentage of candidates in the test who scored below that of the candidate in the section.
7. The Composite score is an overall scaled score based on all five sections of MAT. This is reported on a scale of 200 to 800.
8. The percentile below for the Composite Score represents the percentage of candidates whose composite scores are below the candidate's.
9. The MAT Score has a validity period of one year.
10. Personal data is as reported by the candidate.
11. The AIMA has taken due care while uploading the MAT Score. However, in case of any inadvertent error, the AIMA reserves the right
to rectify the same at a later stage.
 MAT-Score & Its Interpretation
With effect from the MAT held in May 1997, MAT scores are being released to both the
Management Institutes (MIs) and the candidates. These guidelines have been prepared
to provide information about appropriate use of MAT-Score for those who interpret
scores and set criteria for admission. The guidelines are based on many policies and test
considerations. One of the test considerations, viz. normalization of raw scores before
scaling has been started from the MAT held in February 2021.
The purpose of MAT is to provide information on a candidate’s aptitude and skills to cope
up with a Post Graduate Programme. It, therefore, assists in making decision pertaining
to admissions to Institutes/Universities. MAT-Score is one of the sources of information
and should be used, whenever possible, in combination with other information.
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT MAT- Score?
The primary asset of MAT-Score is that it provides a common measure, administered
under standard conditions, with known reliability and validity for evaluating the academic
skills of many candidates.
MAT-Score has two important characteristics. First, it is a reliable measure of certain
developed skills that have been found to be important in the study of management at the
post graduate level. AIMA conducts studies to check the ability of MAT-Score to predict
academic success in the first year of study at the post graduate courses. Second, unlike
graduation level marks, which vary in their meaning according to the marking standards
of each college or university, MAT-Score is based on the same standard for all
candidates.
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
1. All the administrations of MAT closely measure similar abilities. However, each
individual test necessarily asks different questions. This may make one MAT test to
be slightly more or less difficult than another. These slight differences are accounted
for during the normalization and scaling process. As a result of these adjustments,
equal scaled scores represent about the same level of ability, as measured by the test,
regardless of the administration or when and in how many sessions, the test was
conducted.
2. Each score-report contains six scores: Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills,
Data Analysis & Sufficiency, Intelligence & Critical Reasoning, Economic & Business
Environment, and Composite Score.
3. In the normalization process, distribution of scores for the overall session for a
specific subject/ Section is used as standard form against which the scores obtained
in each of the sessions gets normalized. In the formula used here, α% top scores are
used depending on the number of candidates in different sessions.

Let [Xij i= 1, 2,.…..,m j=1,2,……….,n] are scores of ith session and jth candidate appearing
for test paper in ith session with their mean raw scores Mi and standard deviation Si,
mean score of top α% candidates as 𝑀 .α and Gi = Mi + Si for all i=1,2,….,m. Let M0 and
S0 be the mean & standard deviation of raw scores of overall sessions. Let this form
 be denoted as X0. Normalized score of the sessions Xi (i= 1, 2,…….,m) corresponding to
the score Xij may be shown as 𝑋 with the following identity.

𝑋 −𝐺 𝑋 −𝐺
=
𝑀 .α − 𝐺 𝑀 .α − 𝐺
𝑀 .α − 𝐺
𝑋 = 𝑋 −𝐺 +𝐺
𝑀 .α − 𝐺

4. Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills, Data analysis & Sufficiency,

Intelligence & Critical Reasoning and Economic & Business Environment are reported
on scales ranging from 0 to 100.
5. The Composite Score is reported on a scale ranging from 200 to 800.
6. The composite Score is arrived at using all five sections of the test. Equal weightage
is assigned to all these five sections.
7. For each of the six scores mentioned, a percentile below figure is also given. Each of
these indicates the percentage of examinees who scored below the candidate based
on the entire MAT testing population for the test. The percentile below figure may
change marginally with each administration for the same scores.
8. MAT-Score is not to be compared with scores on other tests. MAT-Score cannot
be derived from scores on other tests. Differences if any among different
administrations of MAT are compensated for by the statistical process of score
equating.
9. MAT is not intended to be parallel to any other tests offered by other testing agencies.
