How to Calculate Your Score Using the Answer Key

Here’s how you can estimate your expected score using the released answer key:

• For every correct answer, add 1 mark (or as per official marking scheme).

• For incorrect answers, subtract marks only if negative marking is applicable.

• Questions left unanswered do not carry any marks or penalties.

• Total your score by adding all correct responses and subtracting incorrect ones (if applicable).

This self-assessment will give you a good idea of your probable result before the official merit list is declared.
