INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DAY OF THE TEST

1. Only applicants who are properly registered with the CEM will be admitted at the test site.

2. Bring the following when you report at the test site:

Important documents: NMAT Identification Form

CEM Official Receipt of NMAT Testing Fee (if available)
Payment Confirmation Email (if available)
Valid ID (e.g., Official School ID, Driver’s License, Passport, etc.)

Watch (optional)

Pens, pencils with colored or liquid lead, books, dictionaries, calculators, slide rules, photographic
devices, cellular phones/beepers, transmitters and notes are not allowed in the testing room.

3. On the day of the test, you will read a set of general instructions before you begin the examination. Each
section of the test also has specific directions, including sample questions. You should become familiar with
the specific directions before you take the test. This will make it possible for you to spend less time reading
instructions and more time answering questions on the actual test.

4. Each part of the test has a time limit. The examiner will tell you when to start and when to stop. Try to work
fast but observe care and accuracy.

5. Some of the questions in the test are harder than the others, but try to answer all of them. Begin with the easy
questions and go to the more difficult ones later. Your score will be based on the number of correct answers
made. There is no deduction for a wrong response. You are, therefore, encouraged to answer all the test
questions.

6. You should not use note papers or write anything on your test booklet. Do not make unnecessary marks on
your answer sheet. You will receive credit only for correct answers marked in the proper places on the sheet.

7. In case the NMAT cannot be administered on the date announced because of a major weather disturbance or
some unavoidable circumstance, a postponement will be necessary and the test will be given a week later at
the same time and place designated.

8. Cheating in any form, will automatically invalidate the test result. An examinee found cheating will be
dismissed from the testing room. His/her answer sheet will not be processed and the test fee will be totally
forfeited. He/She is disqualified to take another NMAT.

9. An examinee who is found to be in possession of illegally obtained NMAT booklet will be dealt with
accordingly. He/She is likewise disqualified to take another NMAT.

10. NMAT consists of two parts – Part I is given in the morning and Part II in the afternoon. An examinee must
sit for both parts of the test. If an examinee will not or cannot sit for Part II in the afternoon, he/she must
inform the examiner in his/her room and accomplish a waiver form wherein he/she waives the reporting
and release of his/her NMAT scores. His/her answer sheet will not be processed and no official NMAT
results will be released or received by the examinee.
