Thailand TGAT/TPAT median score (2024 cycle)
Median ~48 / 100
The Thai General Aptitude Test (TGAT) and Thai Professional Aptitude Test (TPAT), the university entrance exam suite that replaced GAT/PAT and supplements O-Net from academic year 2023, posted median scores around 48 out of 100 across roughly 280,000 Mathayom 6 candidates in the 2024 cycle per NIETS tracking. The top decile clears 70+ and concentrates in Bangkok and major urban schools, with strong correlation to tutoring sector consumption. The bottom decile clusters under 30 and overlaps the cohort served by EEF conditional cash transfers. The score distribution underpins university admissions cut-offs at Chulalongkorn, Mahidol, Thammasat, and Kasetsart.
