NMAT scorecard issued inside the login dashboard indicates the adjusted raw marks of a candidate after considering the difference in the difficulty level for all candidates. Scaliong of NMAT scores ensures fairness while evaluating candidates getting different question while appearing for the NMAT exam. 

Before the scaling of scores, GMAC evaluates each candidate's performance based on the actual number of correct answers and incorrect responses by the candidates. NMAT reports the scaled score to candidates and institutions.

The scores of candidates will be equated and percentile scores are calculated after the completion of exam for declaring the final NMAT result. Check below, how the scaled and percentile scores are calculated.

Scaled scores: The scaled scores are prepared after normalising the marks obtained by the candidates. These scores are equated to account any differences in the overall difficulty level. This process is applied to check the scores are comparable across the different sets of question papers.

Final percentile: The final percentile is prepared after the candidates have appeared for NMAT by GMAC examination. The scorecard of NMAT sent to schools will be updated with the announcement of the result. For example, if a test taker is said to score 75 percentile, the test taker scored better than 75%ile of all the test takers who took the exam.

NMAT scorecard is compiled of scaled and percentile scores. Here is the basic difference between scaled scores and percentile scores in NMAT exam- Scaled Scores - The test forms are equated to account for any difference in the overall difficulty and the raw test scores are normalised on a common scale to arrive at scaled scores. Percentile Score - The percentile rank or score is an indicator of score/rank of the candidate as compared to the score/rank of all the other test-takers. NMAT participating institute may accept any of the scores for admission based on NMAT exam.

NMAT exam is conducted three times within a specified test window. Candidates can choose the preferred exam date from the available test window. Since the questions attempted by different candidates may have different difficulty level, GMAC scales the scores of each attempt to equalise the performance of all the candidates. 

After the exam, the test forms are equated on a common scale to remove any kind of discrepancy in regards with the performance of candidate owing to different difficulty level of each NMAT question paper. All the students have then scored on an equated scale to avoid candidates benfitting from indifferent difficulty standards.
