Calculate Your Probable Score

Marking Scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: -0.33 marks (negative marking)

Example Calculation: If you attempted 95 questions with 80 correct and 15 wrong:
Score = (80 × 1) – (15 × 0.33) = 80 – 4.95 = 75.05 marks
Count your correct and incorrect answers using the final answer key, then apply this formula to find your expected score.
