BMAT results.

Aggregate percentages and average scores for the 2018, 2020 and 2021 tests. Given the different structure of the 2018 test compared to the other two tests (see Section 2.2, point (1)), the “Understanding argument” area of the 2018 test has been considered equivalent to the “Critical thinking” area of the 2020 and 2021 tests, while the “Problem solving” and “Data analysis” areas of the 2018 test have been considered as a single area, which in turn has been taken to be equivalent to the “Problem solving” area of the 2020 and 2021 tests. For each subject area, the aggregate percentage is the ratio of correct answers to the total number of questions submitted in the three tests for that subject area. The total aggregate percentage on the bottom row is the ratio of correct answers to the total number of questions submitted in the three tests. Each section score is the average normalized section score for the 2018, 2020 and 2021 tests.
