How to Calculate Your Expected Score
The marking scheme for CBT 1 is:
+1 mark for every correct answer
–1/3 mark for every wrong answer
Use this formula:
Estimated Score = Correct Answers − (Wrong Answers × 1/3)
Example: If you got 70 correct and 15 wrong:
70 − (15 × 1/3) = 65
This helps candidates estimate their likely score before the official result.
