How to Calculate KMAT Score?

The KMAT answer key will contain the questions and correct answers against each question. Check the KMAT marking scheme below:

  • For each right answer, one mark is awarded to the student and for each wrong answer one mark is deducted 
  • No score is awarded for unanswered questions

Given below is an example of how to calculate the KMAT score with the help of the KMAT answer key.

Suppose in the QA section the student attempted 20 questions out of 40. Out of 20, 15 answers are right and five are wrong. So, the score in the QA section will be 15X1-5= 10. So out of 40 marks in QA the score is 10.

Calculate the raw score of all the sections of KMAT in a similar manner and add them to arrive at the overall score.
