Two papers make up the Class 8 NMMS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship) exam:

The Mental Ability Test (MAT) measures a person's capacity for critical thought, reasoning, and problem-solving. It covers topics such as pattern recognition, numerical series, classifications, analogies, and more.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, assesses a candidate's general knowledge as well as their proficiency in science, math, and social studies. It centres on the academic material that students have studied.

While every state may have a unique curriculum and format, both exams usually feature multiple-choice questions (M CQs).

Hello Vinit!!

For the NMMS 2024 examination in Class 8, there are two sections:

• MAT (Mental Ability Test): It would assess logical reasoning, problem-solving, and deductive reasoning skills. The questions would be patterns, analogies, classification, and problems based on categories of reasoning.
• SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test): This would comprise Science, Social Science, and Mathematics based on Class 7 and 8 syllabus.

Both sections normally have multiple-choice questions. Every state has its cutoff marks; so, one has to score a good mark in both for qualification.
