How to Calculate Marks Using AP SET Exam 2026?

With the help of this APSET answer key, candidates can calculate the marks to be obtained in the exam.

  • There are 150 MCQ questions in the paper
  • One mark is allotted for a correct answer
  • There will be no negative marking

Use this simple formula:

Total Marks = Number of Correct Answers × 2

Example-

Paper 1: Correct = 40

Marks = 40 × 2 = 80

Paper 2: Correct = 70

Marks = 70 × 2 = 140

Total Score: 80 + 140 = 220

Since there is no negative marking, therefore the double of the answers attempted is the number of marks to be secured.
