How to Calculate Score
Understanding the marking scheme is essential for correctly estimating your score using the provisional answer key. The MPSC Group B examination follows a specific pattern with negative marking applied for incorrect responses.
- Correct Answer: +1 mark
- Wrong Answer: -0.25 marks (negative marking)
- Unattempted Question: 0 marks
Score Calculation Formula: Total Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 1) – (Number of Wrong Answers × 0.25)
Example: If a candidate has answered 90 questions correctly and 10 incorrectly, Total Score = (90 × 1) – (10 × 0.25) = 90 – 2.5 = 87.5 marks.
