LEARN ABOUT NATIONAL TALENT SEARCH EXAMINATION

Learn About the National Talent Search Test

It is always best to know as much as possible about the test before you take it.
The National Talent Search Examination will be conducted for students studying at
class VIII level. The examination consists of two tests namely the Mental
Ability Test (MAT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Each test consists of 90
multiple choice type questions.

Each question has four alternatives marked 1,2,3 and 4. The candidate has to select
one correct answer from the given alternatives and mark its number in the answersheet. Each correct answer carries one mark. Thus the total score of a candidate in a
test is equal to the number of questions answered correctly by him/her.
To make the candidates acquainted with the questions in the above tests, some
sample questions in each of the two tests are given below. These questions will give
the candidate, a feel of the nature and level of the questions expected in the test. The
answer for each question is provided at the end. The rationale has also been given for
some questions, which will help you to understand the logic of the correct answer.
Mental Ability Test Items

This test is given to the candidates to judge their power of reasoning, ability to think,
ability to judge, evaluate or discriminate, ability to visualize in the space, spatial
orientation, etc. A variety of questions e.g. analogies, classification, series, pattern
perception, hidden figures, coding-decoding, block assembly, problem solving etc. are
used for this purpose. To acquaint the candidates with such questions, some examples
are given below. The rationale to find the answer to each question is given at the end.
The candidates are advised to try to solve these questions themselves first. Later on,
they may look at the solutions to find their correct answer and the rationale. 2
