How to Calculate Your Expected Score
- Count your correct answers by comparing your response sheet with the answer key.
- Multiply that number by the marks given for each question.
- Check the official rulebook for negative marking. If it applies, subtract the penalty for each wrong answer.
- The result is your estimated raw score.
Your actual score may change after the final key, because accepted objections can revise answers. If the exam was held in several shifts, MPESB may also apply normalisation.
What Happens After the Answer Key?
- Final answer key: Released after MPESB reviews all objections.
- Result: Prepared on the basis of the final key. Candidates who clear the written cut-off will go to the next stage.
