How to Calculate SSC CGL Score from Answer Key?

SSC CGL Answer Key is considered the best way to calculate your score before the announcement of the result. Candidates can use the official answers to evaluate their own answers given in the exam attempt. Candidates can get an idea of how well they did in the exam by assessing their performance.

By comparing their response sheet, candidates will be able to calculate their probable SSC CGL exam scores. They can estimate their overall score by using the marking scheme to determine the number of correct and incorrect answers.

Score calculation method: 

• For each correct answer in the SSC CGL Tier I exam, aspirants will receive +2 marks.

• There will be a negative marking of 0.50 mark for each wrong answer.

• There will not be any negative marking for unattempted questions, hence it will result in a 0 score for that question.

To calculate the total marks apply this formula:

 (Number of correct answers x 2) – (Number of incorrect answers x 0.5)

Benefits of Reviewing CGL Answer Key
