🧮 How to Use the Answer Key: Score Estimation & Accuracy Check

• Each correct answer will likely be awarded 2 marks (as per pattern).
• Negative marking is applicable — typically ¼ mark deduction for each wrong answer.
• Use the formula:

Estimated Score=(Number of correct answers×2)  −  (Number of wrong answers×0.25)\text{Estimated Score} = (\text{Number of correct answers} \times 2) \;-\; (\text{Number of wrong answers} \times 0.25)Estimated Score=(Number of correct answers×2)−(Number of wrong answers×0.25)

After calculating, compare the estimated score with expected cut-offs to see if you have a good chance to progress to the next stage.
