Primary answer
ATMA is a 3-hour (180 minutes) Computer-Based Test (CBT) consisting of 180 Multiple Choice Questions. It is uniquely structured into 6 sections: Analytical Reasoning Skills (Part 1 & 2), Verbal Skills (Part 1 & 2), and Quantitative Skills (Part 1 & 2). Each section has exactly 30 questions. The marking scheme follows a +1 for correct answers and a penalty of -0.25 for incorrect ones. A critical nuance is the strict 30-minute sectional time limit; the system automatically moves to the next section after 30 minutes, and you cannot return to a previous section.
