Scoring
SCORING SYSTEM
0–200 scale, no pass/fail
dMAT produces a raw score that is scaled to a 0–200 range. The mean is set at 100. Your result is a percentile — not a knowledge grade. There is no pass/fail threshold; universities set their own minimum requirements.
What scores mean
130–200: Strong performance — competitive for most programmes.
110–129: Above average — meets most university minimums.
90–109: Average range.
Below 90: May not meet minimum requirements for selective programmes.
