Questions and Answers
Q. Is the MFAB BAT similar to the GMAT?
yes and no. In some aspects, the questions on the MFAB BAT will seem similar in style and manner to GMAT questions. For example, Critical Thinking questions on the BAT are roughly analogous to the Critical Reasoning questions on the GMAT. Most questions on the Data Analysis section of the test will also be similar to Problem Solving questions from the Quantitative section of the GMAT. However, there are differences as well. For example, the BAT includes a specific category of Critical Thinking questions to test solvability based on logic. These types of questions are not present on the GMAT. Similarly, bold-face type Critical Reasoning questions from the GMAT are not tested on the BAT.
Additionally, topics deemed to be less relevant to a later career in business, such as geometry, sentence correction, and analytical writing, are not included on the BAT but are a part of the GMAT.
Q. How is scoring done ?
The BAT test is scored on an indicative rather than a comparative scale. This means that business schools will use test performance to judge your potential for success on their program as an independent ability, and not necessarily in comparison to others (as might be the case with the GMAT). Test scores are not released to applicants but retained internally by business schools.e BAT includes a specific category of Critical Thinking questions to test solvability based on logic.
