Kerala_NMMS_2025_SAT_Answer_Key_Code_D.pdf (Size: 180.79 KB / Downloads: 6)
How to use it
Try it under exam conditions first: set a timer, keep the OMR-style answer sheet handy, and don't peek at the key. Then go through the mistakes one by one. In my experience students learn far more from the questions they got wrong in MAT than from the ones they got right. For SAT, note which topics keep coming up, since the paper leans heavily on the Class 7 and 8 syllabus.
Good to know
