This applies regardless of the option marked or whether the question was attempted. Candidates do not need to take any action; marks will be added automatically during result declaration.

Count your correct answers based on the final answer key, add the 3 marks from cancelled questions, and deduct any negative marking once the detailed marking scheme is published alongside the result announcement. The GPRB website will provide the full marking scheme when results are declared.
