How to Calculate Scores
Marking Scheme
| Response Type | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +2 |
| Incorrect Answer | 0 |
| Unattempted Question | 0 |
Note: There is no negative marking in this exam.
Formula
Estimated Score = Number of Correct Answers × 2
For example, if you marked 72 correct answers, 18 incorrect, and left 10 unattempted, your estimated score = 72 × 2 = 144 out of 200.
This is only an estimate. The provisional key may change after objections are reviewed, so wait for the final key before drawing conclusions.
