ATMA scores are useful in determining a candidate's performance in whole
test population. Some important points should be kept in mind before attending
the test. All the students taking the ATMA test should present themselves
at the examination hall at least 30 minutes before the commencement of
the test. It is important to read the directions for each set of questions
carefully. Each multiple-choice question is followed by four answers,
you have to choose the correct one. Time should be allotted wisely within
the limits given. On an average, there will be less than one minute available
to answer each question. Start answering from the first question of each
section and proceed serially. In case you find a mistake in the framing
of a question or the answer-choices given or both, you need not waste
your time on them. You will be given credit for any such question. A candidate
is not expected to answer all questions, within the specified time frame.
You are advised to proceed through the test at an even pace, skipping
difficult questions, wherever necessary. You can return to the unanswered
questions later, within the time specified for each section. If you wish
to review your answers in a section, you can do so only in that section
within the time limit. You cannot answer any other section (s) or read
any other sections (s), backward or forward, as the case may be. Violation
of the instructions or any unethical practice will disqualify the candidate.
The decision of the supervisor in this regard will be final.
Exam preparation- ATMA seeks to measure
the aptitude of the student for higher management education. Such an aptitude
in a person is typically shaped and developed over a long period of time
and cannot be altered in a short time frame. Hence, preparation for ATMA
cannot be similar to that of university examinations.
However, familiarity with aptitude tests and speed can be improved with
diligent and regular preparation. AIMS does not recommend any particular
preparatory course or training for ATMA, though these may be effective
in varying degrees.
