CAT 2026 Score vs Percentile Guide
Use score-vs-percentile benchmarks to set mock targets, but treat final estimates as provisional until the actual paper, normalization rules, and result data are available.
Set target bands
Map dream, realistic, and backup colleges to score or percentile ranges.
Track mock variance
Compare raw score, accuracy, and time spent instead of chasing one mock percentile.
Use after exam
Once the exam is over, update estimates using difficulty level and official result trends.
