The raw score in CAT is the exact score obtained. This is after deducting the negative marks. And, this based on the official answer key released each year. In this year it is IIM Lucknow, that released the answer key. Since, the exam is also conducted by IIM-L. Next year in 2024 IIM Calcutta will release response sheet. You can calculate raw score with the help of CAT score calculator along with your predicted percentile, which is pretty much accurate as a lot of people submit their response sheets in that tool.
When you see your CAT score on your scorecard, it is the scaled score. Your original raw score will be varied based on the difficulty level of that section of your particular slot. For example, if the QA section in your slot is the most difficult among the three slots, your QA raw score will be increased, and that increased score will be your Scaled score. So, Scaling is simply the adjustment made to each section of your exam to make it comparable across all the slots and also for a fair marking system across the slots.
A percentile is a unit of measurement used to calculate the percentage of students in the merit list who are higher or lower than you. For example, getting 70% on the CAT signifies that 70% of the students who took the exam scored lower than you. As a result, candidates with a 70 percentile or higher imply that they are in the top 30 percent of those who took the exam
