Calculating Expected Score
Candidates can calculate their expected score following the below-mentioned process:
- Download their Response Sheet and Answer Key by visiting the CAT website.
- Compare and Review their responses through the answer sheet
- Calculate Marks through the CAT marking scheme, i.e. + 3 Marks for correct answers, 0 marks for unattempted questions, and -1 mark for incorrect answers. No -ve marks for TITA (Type In The Answer) questions
After noting down their responses, they can calculate their total marks by the below-mentioned formula:
Total Score=(3×Number of Correct Answers)+(−1×Number of Incorrect Answers)
For instance, here is a sample:
Total Score=(3×30)+(−1×10)=90−10=80
It is important to note that the score will only provide an estimate if the candidate accurately counts their correct and incorrect answer count. Furthermore, this formula will only give you a raw score which can be used to calculate one’s percentile using historical data or percentile calculators available online.
Conclusion
This is all the information one needs to calculate their 2024 CAT score and find whether they are eligible to enter the prestigious IIM institutes in India.
Good Luck!
