The NMAT exam is computer-delivered and gives each candidate a randomly generated test from a pool of questions, provided one-at-a-time.

- Choosing the section order: A candidate can choose the order in which he/she would like to respond to each of the sections on the test.
- No negative marking: Candidates can make an informed guess instead of skipping a question without the fear of a penalty for a wrong answer.
