How to Calculate Your Score Using the Answer Key

• Formula: Score = Correct answers x 1 – (Wrong answers x 1/3)
• Example 1: 65 correct and 15 wrong. Score = 65 – (15 x 1/3) = 65 – 5 = 60 marks.
• Example 2: 70 correct and 12 wrong. Score = 70 – (12 x 1/3) = 70 – 4 = 66 marks.
• Example 3: 50 correct and 30 wrong. Score = 50 – (30 x 1/3) = 50 – 10 = 40 marks.
• The paper has 100 questions and 100 marks, so the maximum raw score is 100.

• Take a screenshot of your response sheet before the link closes.
• Do not trust any person or channel that says they can change your marks for money.
