Why Write NMAT 2020 Exam?

The NMAT exam is unique. Many MBA aspirants prefer writing it. They spend time and money on NMAT preparation. The exam is conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). GMAC also conducts the GMAT exam. The credibility assures MBA aspirants. The exam also is designed, keeping in mind the convenience of the test takers. 

Here are TEN main reasons why an MBA aspirant must write the NMAT 2020 exam:

1. No Negative Marking – Negative marking is something every MBA aspirant dreads. And NMAT 2020 gives it to you. With no negative marking, it gives you the chance to make educated guesses if required. Also, the fear of not losing unnecessary marks is a confidence booster.
2. Speed-based test – The NMAT exam is speed-based. You need to answer 108 questions in 120 minutes. Usually, when speed is of the essence, the difficulty level is not very high. However, do not undermine it. With sectional time limits, you can easily plan to answer 100 percent questions with 90 percent accuracy.
3. No Sectional Order – There are three sections in NMAT 2020. You can choose the order in which you want to attempt the language skills, quantitative skills, and logical reasoning. You can enter the examination hall with a pre-decided strategy and choose the order of sections. Attempt the part which is most comfortable for you. This will instill confidence. Just remember that time saved while answering one section will not be carried over to the next section.
4. Retake NMAT 2020– The ability to re-write the NMAT exam makes it a preferred option for students. In case you want to improve upon your scores and suspect that the first attempt was not up to the mark, you can retake the NMAT exam. After writing it once, you can retake the exam twice more. In all, you can write the NMAT 2020 exam thrice. The best of the three scores can be chosen.
5. Self-Schedule – The NMAT exam is conducted over 75 days. NMAT 2020 dates are between 6th Oct till 19th Dec 2020. There are five windows. You can schedule any NMAT window, available day and exam slot as per your convenience. You can also reschedule the exam.
