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.
