Primary answer
Since MAT is conducted across multiple days and sessions (PBT and CBT), the difficulty level might vary slightly. To ensure fairness, AIMA uses a normalization process where raw scores are converted into 'Scaled Scores' ranging from 0 to 100 for each section. These scaled scores account for the relative difficulty of the specific paper you attempted. The 'Composite Score' (199-801) is then derived from these scaled scores of the first four sections, ensuring that a candidate who took a 'tougher' set is not at a disadvantage compared to one who took an 'easier' set.
