Why Chapter-Wise Mock Tests for MAT?
- The MAT section focuses on verbal and non-verbal reasoning: analogy, classification, number series, pattern perception, hidden figures etc.
- Doing full papers is good – but breaking them into chapters helps you focus on one topic at a time (e.g., number series, seating arrangement) and improves speed.
- Regular online mock tests mimic the real exam environment and help with time management and sectional practice.
What You’ll Get in the Tests
- Topic-wise mock tests for all key MAT themes:
- Number series, missing letters, odd one out
- Analogy (numbers, letters, words)
- Coding & decoding, blood relations, seating arrangement
- Direction problems, dice & cube, mirror & water images, embedded figures
- Instant scoring and feedback, so you can track your progress and identify weak topics.
- Simulated exam pattern: number of questions, time limit, similar difficulty to NMMS.
- Free access or minimal cost – designed especially for Class 8 students.
How to Use These Mock Tests Effectively
1. Choose a topic (e.g., Number Series) and attempt the mock test under timed conditions.
2. After finishing, review wrong answers and understand why you got them wrong – is it concept, speed or mis-reading?
3. Maintain a log: track your score per topic; mark topics where you repeatedly make errors.
4. Once you’ve done all topics chapter-wise, attempt full MAT mock test under exam-conditions to measure overall readiness.
5. A week before the exam, increase frequency of mock tests and focus on weaker areas.
Tips for MAT Success in NMMS
- Read the syllabus carefully: MAT is about mental ability — reasoning, spatial / non-verbal patterns.
- Don’t ignore previous years’ question papers—they give a feel for question types and difficulty.
- Time yourself. Many lose marks due to rushing or panicking. Using online mock tests helps you adapt.
- Analyse mistakes, not just the score. A weak topic addressed today will increase your score significantly tomorrow.
- Stay calm and consistent. Regular short practice beats one long cramming session.
