The scoring of the CAT is based on 3 patterns:
- Raw CAT mark
- Scaled or normalized mark
- CAT percentile
1. Raw CAT Mark
- CAT consists of a total of 66 questions:
- Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC) - 24 question
- Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) - 20 question
- Quantitative Ability (QA) - 22 question
The CAT exam consists of both MCQs and Non-MCQs type of question. Each correct answer is awarded by +3 marks and each incorrect answer results in the deduction of -1 mark. So the total mark for the 66 questions is 198. The raw CAT mark is referred to as the total mark score from a total of 198 marks.
2. Scaled or normalized mark
The raw mark is then converted into scaled or normalized marks. The CAT normalization process ensures fairness and equality in performance comparison across sessions. This process is also used by GATE. Various factors are taken into consideration while converting raw marks into scaled marks like, no. of. candidates appearing in the exam in the given year, the difficulty level of the exam, the slot number the candidate is appearing, etc. This scaled mark is then converted into a percentile.
The formula for obtaining the scaled mark of a candidate is:
S = (Ar-G)*(A1-G1) / (Am1-G1) + G
where,
S= Scaled Mark
R = Actual or raw marks obtained by the candidate
Ar = average mark obtained of the top 0.1% candidates in both slots
G = Sum of the mean and standard deviation of marks of all candidates in both slots
Am1 = Average mark of top 0.1% candidates in ith slot
G1 = Sum of mean and deviation mark of all the candidates in ith slot
Example:
Total Slots = 2
Let,
Total test takers = 2,00,000
Candidates in each slot = 1,00,000 (O.1% = 100)
R = 170 out 0f 300
Ar = (195 + 190)/2 = 192, (where 195 and 190 are average mark of top 100 candidates in slot 1 and 2 respectively)
G = 112
Am1 = 190 (let consider 1st slot)
G1 = 110
So Scaled Mark S = (192-112)*(170-110) / (190-110) + 112 = 172
3. CAT 2022 Percentile
The CAT percentile is referred to as the total percentage of candidates who scored less than or equal to a particular candidate. This means if a candidate scores 99 percentile, then his/her' performance was better than 99% of the total candidate that appeared CAT that particular year. To clear this confusion, the Cat percentile is not referred to the actual mark obtained by the candidate but it refers to the candidate's performance in comparison to the rest of the CAT aspirants.
The scaled score and corresponding percentile depends on the level of difficulty of the exam and the number of test-takers
