How is the umat score/ percentile calculated? (1 Viewer)

[fabl]

There was a total of 134 questions, and like maybe 48 questions were about category 1, 44 questions on category 2 and 44 question on category 3.

I got 23/48 right answers for category 1 and 30/44 and 22/44 for category 2 and 3 respectively?

What would be my percentile or score?

You can't calculate what score those marks would correspond to in the actual ACER UMAT exam. ACER does not share the method they use to calculate their scores. Also, to calculate a percentile, you would need to know the scores of everyone else who did the test. Based on your raw scores, if the test was easy, your percentiles would be low, but if the test was difficult, they could be high.

ACER uses a method which they do not disclose to scale the marks (some questions are worth more I think). After scaling the marks, everyone's marks is ranked similar to the ATAR and your percentile indicates where you lie. 95th percentile would mean top 5%, 50th percentile would mean top 50% etc.

So yea, you can't really calculate it yourself
