Candidates can use the provisional answer key to calculate their tentative marks.
AIAPGET Expected Score Formula
Expected Score = (Correct Answers × 4) – (Incorrect Answers × 1)
For example, a candidate who has answered 90 questions correctly and 20 incorrectly can estimate the score as:
90 × 4 – 20 × 1 = 340 marks
This is only a provisional calculation. The actual score will depend on the final answer key and NTA’s evaluation.
