Your raw score depends on the marking scheme in the bulletin for your cycle. Recent bulletins give 2 marks for each correct answer and no negative marking. Unattempted questions score zero.
The formula
Raw score = (correct × marks per correct) − (incorrect × negative mark per wrong).
Example
With 38 correct out of 50 in Paper 1 and no negative marking: 38 × 2 = 76 out of 100.
Things that change your final score
- Questions dropped after the final answer key may be handled in a special way — read the result notice.
- Results are published as normalised percentiles when the exam runs in multiple shifts, so raw marks are only a guide.
