Initial Exam Analysis and Difficulty Level
Preliminary feedback from candidates suggests that the ATMA 2026 exam followed its traditional pattern of 180 questions spread across six sections. Each section was timed for 30 minutes. Students reported that while the Verbal Skills sections were relatively easy to moderate, the Quantitative Skills sections were quite calculation-heavy and time-consuming.
The analysis provided by educational experts indicates that the Analytical Reasoning section featured a mix of arrangement-based puzzles and critical reasoning questions. Most students found this section to be of moderate difficulty. The marking scheme remains strict, with +1 mark for every correct answer and a negative marking of -0.25 for every incorrect response.
| Section Name | Number of Questions | Difficulty Level |
| Analytical Reasoning (Part 1 & 2) | 60 | Moderate |
| Verbal Skills (Part 1 & 2) | 60 | Easy to Moderate |
| Quantitative Skills (Part 1 & 2) | 60 | Moderate to Difficult |
| Total | 180 | Moderate |
