• Admit Card Release Date: December 18, 2025 (Expected from 5:00 PM onwards, as per past trends).
• MAT 2025 CBT Exam Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025.
• Registration Deadline: The application window for the CBT mode closes on December 15, 2025.

Focus Areas for the Final Preparation Push

With only a few days remaining until the exam, aspirants should shift from learning new concepts to intense revision and practice. Your focus now must be on strengthening core areas and improving speed and accuracy.

• Mock Tests & Analysis: Take at least one full-length mock test daily to simulate the real exam environment. Crucially, spend equal time analyzing your performance to identify and fix conceptual gaps or time management errors.
• Sectional Prioritization: While the Economic & Business Environment section is generally considered low-scoring, a quick revision of recent current affairs and business news will provide easy marks. Dedicate a final review to your weaker but high-weightage sections, such as Data Analysis & Sufficiency and Intelligence & Critical Reasoning.
• Formula & Concept Review: Create quick revision notes for formulas in Mathematical Skills and key concepts in Language Comprehension (like grammar rules and vocabulary lists). Avoid starting any brand-new, complex topics that could lead to anxiety.
