How CAT Score is Calculated?

Quantitative Reasoning, Data Interpretation, and Logical Reasoning, as well as Verbal and Reading Comprehension, are used to sub-normalize CAT results.

• To increase the level of competitiveness, the CAT exam score is translated into percentile form and the best scorer is featured at the top.
• For each accurate answer, a candidate receives three points.
• It does, however, use negative marking, with one mark subtracted for each incorrect response.
• Candidates should be aware that if a question is left unanswered, no points will be removed.
• The CAT score aids in the shortlisting of qualified applicants for subsequent rounds.

Percentile Score

Using Quantitative Ability (QA) as an example, the following is the step-by-step procedure for calculating the overall score and percentile score:

• Step 1: Determine the total number of candidates who took the CAT in each session (N).
• Step 2: Assign a rank (r) to all candidates who took the CAT 2021 exam, based on the scaled scores received in the QA part. If two or more candidates have identical scores in the QA section, they will be assigned the same rank.
• Step 3: To determine the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank(r) in the QA section, use the formula:
• ((N-r) N) x 100 = P
• Step 4: Finally, round a candidate’s derived percentile score (P) to two decimal places. All percentile values larger than or equal to 99.995 are rounded to 100, and all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.985 but less than 99.995 are rounded to 99.995, and so on.
