How to Calculate SSC CGL Tier 1 Marks 2025 using Answer Key?
Candidates can calculate their tentative marks by comparing their answers with the official key before the results are declared. The tentative marks for SSC CGL tier 1 exam can be calculated with the following marking scheme:
- Each correct answer carries +2 marks.
- Each wrong answer leads to a deduction of 0.5 marks.
- Unattempted questions receive zero marks.
Compare your marked answers with the official answer key and count the number of correct answers and incorrect answers you gave.
The formula to estimate your score is:
Total Marks = (Number of Correct Answers × 2 ) – (Number of Incorrect Answers×0.5)
For example, if a candidate attempted 100 questions with 80 correct and 20 incorrect:
- Marks for correct answers = 80 × 2 = 160
- Negative marks = 20 × 0.5 = 10
- Estimated total = 160 – 10 = 150
Note- As the exam was held in multiple shifts, a normalisation process may adjust final scores.
