- Unattempted question: 0 marks
- Bonus question (one per series): +1 mark to all candidates automatically
Example Calculation:
If you are a Series A candidate and attempted 95 questions with 78 correct and 17 wrong:

Your estimated total score would be 79 out of 100.
Note: The bonus question is awarded to all candidates automatically, so add +1 to your correct answer count regardless of whether you attempted that question.
