Marking scheme: +3 for correct, −1 for a wrong MCQ, no penalty for a wrong non-MCQ. Edit

The default matches recent CAT papers. Check the current scheme on the official CAT website (opens in a new tab) and change it here if needed.

How the numbers are calculated

  • Score = 3 × (correct MCQ + correct non-MCQ) − 1 × (wrong MCQ), using the default marking scheme. You can change the marks if the official scheme changes.
  • Accuracy = correct answers ÷ questions attempted.
  • Marks lost to negatives = wrong MCQs × the negative mark.
  • Marks dropped on wrong answers = every wrong attempt × the marks a correct answer would have earned, plus negatives. This is the size of the prize if your accuracy were perfect on what you already attempted.

The default scheme (+3 for correct, −1 for a wrong MCQ, no penalty for a wrong non-MCQ) matches recent CAT papers. Confirm the current scheme on the official CAT website (opens in a new tab) before relying on it.

Reading your results

The analyser compares your accuracy with simple bands. They are rules of thumb, not targets:

  • 80% or higher — your selection is careful. If you finished with time to spare, you can probably attempt a few more.
  • 60–80% — mixed. Look at your wrong answers by cause before changing your attempt strategy.
  • Below 60% — negatives are costing you heavily. Attempt fewer, better-chosen questions next time.

Your mock log stays on your device

When you save a mock, it is stored in your browser on this device only. Nothing is sent to us. Clearing your browser data will delete the log, so use Export CSV to keep a copy — or switch to the Excel mock tracker.
