How to Calculate Your Score (Simple Method)
- Find your Series on your question booklet — A, B, C or D.
- Open your rough sheet / recorded answers from the exam day.
- Match question by question with only your series column.
- Count your correct answers for each paper separately.
- Add all three papers to get your total out of 105 MCQs.
- Check the marking scheme in the original notification for marks per question and negative marking, if any.
Write your score down honestly. Do not round up in hope. A realistic number helps you plan your next step better than an optimistic one.
