Calculate Your Probable Score
The MPSC LDO and AC exam follows this marking scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: -0.33 marks (negative marking applied)
- Unattempted question: 0 marks
Worked Example: If you attempted 95 questions with 75 correct answers and 20 wrong answers:
Score = (75 × 1) – (20 × 0.33) = 75 – 6.6 = 68.4 marks
Use this formula to estimate your probable score against the final answer key. Remember that your actual merit position will depend on the overall cutoff and the performance of all other candidates.
