When it comes to great job opportunities, there is no one better than AMCAT. AMCAT brings job seekers and recruiters under one roof and gives them the opportunity to interact and find each other. And, that is exactly why so many companies and candidates are increasingly relying on the AMCAT exam to get the recruitment process underway.
However, what if you have given the AMCAT exam and have not performed up to the mark? Or what if you have done well or think you can do better and thus get more opportunities? Is there any tab on how many times you can give the AMCAT exam or how often you can appear for it?
Understanding the AMCAT exam
The AMCAT exam is a skills assessment/ aptitude test that scores a candidate on five different parameters – Logical Reasoning, English, Quantitative Reasoning, Personality test and domain knowledge.
The first four modules are compulsory for all candidates and are meant to test a candidate’s soft skills. However, the fifth module varies according to the field of study of the candidate and the kind of jobs they are seeking.
AMCAT evaluates you on the basis of your performance in all these modules – how quick and correct your responses were. However, while there are no negative markings in the AMCAT exam, wrong answers lead to easier questions ahead and thus lesser marks and right answers mean tougher questions but a chance to score more.
Number of times you can appear for the AMCAT exam
If you are keen on improving your performance, then you can give the AMCAT exam as many times as it pleases you. There is no particular limit defined for it. However, if you have given the AMCAT exam once, then you will have to wait a minimum of 45 days before you can reappear for it.
The 45 days cooling period is to help you prepare better and get ready for a new start. This time, with a clearer idea of what to expect from the AMCAT test and an action plan on how you can do better.
