How to Calculate Marks Based on the SSC GD Answer Key 2025
After downloading the answer key, candidates can calculate their probable score by following these steps:
- Match the Answer Key with your response sheet.
- Count the Number of Correct Answers: For example, if you have 30 correct answers, 10 unattempted, and 40 incorrect answers.
- Apply the Marking Scheme:
- For each correct answer, award yourself 2 marks.
- For each wrong answer, deduct 0.25 marks.
- Correct answers (30) = 30 × 2 = 60 marks
- Wrong answers (40) = 40 × 0.25 = 10 marks
- Calculate Your Tentative Score: Subtract the marks for wrong answers from the marks for correct answers.
Example: 60 (correct) – 10 (wrong) = 50 marks
The commission will also use a normalization process to ensure fairness in the exam results.
