How to use it
- Pick your exam and paper, or keep “Custom” and enter the number of questions and marks per question.
- Enter the marks deducted for each wrong answer, as printed in your notice.
- Enter how many answers match the key and how many do not. Questions you left blank count as zero.
How the score is worked out
Score = (right answers × marks per question) − (wrong answers × deduction per wrong answer). With 100 questions of 2 marks each and 0.5 marks cut per wrong answer, 70 right and 12 wrong gives 140 − 6 = 134 out of 200. Unattempted questions neither add nor cut marks.
Raw score and final marks
This is your raw score from the provisional key. Exams held in many shifts often normalise marks, and the final key can change a few answers after objections, so your final marks may differ a little. The negative marking is not filled in for you: check your notice, because it differs between exams and sometimes between papers of the same exam.
Frequently asked questions
How do I count right and wrong answers?
Download your response sheet from the official answer key link, compare each answer with the key, and count the matches and mismatches. Leave out questions you did not attempt.
Where do the exam presets come from?
From the exam pattern printed in each official notice, as shown on the exam page. A preset appears only when every section of that paper carries the same marks per question.
Why isn’t the negative marking filled in?
It varies between exams and papers, and a wrong value would give you a wrong score. Enter the deduction printed in your notice; the exam page’s FAQ usually states it.
Will my final score match this?
It matches your raw score on the provisional key. Normalisation across shifts and changes in the final key can move the final marks.
