- Add these two to get your estimated total score
Details | Marking Scheme |
Correct Answer | +1 |
Incorrect Answer | -1/3 |
Unattempted | 0 |
Consider this example: let’s say you attempted 82 Questions in total. This is how you would calculate your score:
Total Attempts | Wrong Answers | Unattempted | Calculated Score |
---|---|---|---|
82 | 10 | 18 | 72× 1 – 10 × 0.33 = (72 – 3.3) = 68.7 |
