How to Calculate Scores

Marking Scheme

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.
