Instead, a normalization process is followed to convert the raw scores to the scaled scores and finally to a CAT percentile. If you have scored the 99%ile in the examination, this means you are ahead of the 99% of test takers who appeared for the CAT exam. In the CAT 2025 exam, 99.90%ile is equivalent to an overall 111.4, and so on, which is mentioned in the blog in a detailed manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is indispensable for the candidates that they should know the CAT score vs percentile because the exam authority uses relative ranking instead of the absolute scores to evaluate the candidates&#8217; performance. This blog covers the 5-year detailed trend analysis overall and section-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark>Join iQuanta\u2019s diversified student community for free and prepare with other 4.1L+ peers.

the sections. For the correct option, you will receive +3 marks and -1 mark for the incorrect marked answer, with 0 for not attempted. The final score you receive post-calculation is your raw score, which is further scaled and undergoes the normalization process across slots to eradicate unfairness in calculating the final CAT exam percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CAT Percentile: <\/strong>The CAT percentile refers to how you performed in the exam among the test takers who appeared for the CAT exam.

Now the question arises, &#8220;Why are we following the normalization process for calculating the final percentile?&#8221; The answer is the examination is conducted across the various time zones (morning, afternoon, and evening). Along with that, the difficulty level of the question paper varies based on the slots, and this is the basic reason that the exam authority follows the normalization process to ensure fairness among the candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your respective CAT exam scorecard doesn&#8217;t directly show you the raw scores.
