Each section in the pH test has 20 questions and in total there are 60 questions. Which amounts to the maximum mark of 600.
In the pH test, questions in each section are objective in nature with multiple choices, and are categorised into several levels of difficulty. Final score of a candidate reflects the number of questions answered correctly along with their difficulty level.
The pH test assesses a broad range of skills that a student acquires throughout their education since childhood. It does not test a student's proficiency in any specific area or any particular subject. It presumes basic understanding of fundamentals of high school level mathematics, and basic proficiency in essential English language skills.
The below table describes the pattern of pH test-
Sections | No. of questions | Marks | Time Duration |

Analytical Reasoning | 20 | 200 | |
Total | 60 | 600 | 2 hours |
