What format do dMAT subject module questions follow?

Every question in your subject module follows the same shape: you get a technical text passage first, then a set of questions built on that passage, each offering exactly 4 answer options with only one correct solution. Figures, tables and formulas can appear inside the passage, the questions or the answer options themselves, so reading carefully matters just as much as knowing your subject.

The Fixed Question Format

Why the Format Matters for Your Strategy

• Since the passage carries the core information, skim it once for structure before you read the questions in detail.
• Watch for figures and tables tucked inside answer options themselves, not just in the passage, since these can hide the deciding detail.
• Because every question has exactly one correct option, you can eliminate options that contradict the passage rather than trying to prove an answer fully correct.

My Advice

Practise a two pass reading technique: skim the passage first to understand what it is generally about, then reread the specific section each question points to before checking the four options against it. This stops you from re-reading the entire passage for every single question, which is the most common way students run out of time in this module.
