dMAT Score Explained: The 0 to 200 Scale and Percentile Rank
Your dMAT certificate shows a score from 0 to 200 and a percentile rank for the Core Module and the subject module. The mean score is 100. There is no single official good score because each university decides how to use the result.

Your certificate shows two measures
The certificate reports both measures separately for the Core Module and the subject module. It also adds the two module scores for a total. See the official score explanation (opens in a new tab).
dMAT score
Correct answers are converted to a value from 0 to 200. The mean is 100.
Percentile rank
A rank of 70 means 70% of participants scored lower or the same, and 30% scored higher.
What counts as a good dMAT score?
The official scale has a mean of 100, but it does not publish one score that guarantees admission. Universities decide how they use the score and percentile rank. APS India also states that dMAT is not a stand-alone pass or fail test for the APS certificate. Read the APS India answer (opens in a new tab).
Use practice results correctly
Practice tools can show how many answers you got right. They cannot calculate your official 0 to 200 score or percentile before the real test population is scored.
