NMAT feels a bit different from other MBA exams because of its adaptive nature. You can’t just randomly skip around ,  the clock is always ticking, and the paper adjusts to how you’re performing.

That’s why people often debate: is it speed that matters more, or accuracy? Honestly, it’s a mix. You can’t afford to waste too much time because every section has its own timer, but at the same time, rushing and marking wrong answers can hurt you since the test adapts.

The sweet spot is balancing quick decision-making with careful attempts. Don’t get stuck, but don’t gamble either. The exam rewards those who can keep a steady pace without panicking.

So if you’re preparing, practice timed sectionals and get used to that “no extra second” mindset. It’s less about choosing speed or accuracy, and more about finding your own rhythm within the clock.
