• Calculate your score: Award one mark for every correct answer and deduct 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer.
• Analyse incorrect responses: Identify whether mistakes occurred because of a conceptual gap, calculation error, or misreading of the question.
• Revise weak topics: Return to the relevant subject material and practise additional questions.
• Attempt the paper again if required: Revisit difficult questions after revision to check whether your understanding has improved.

How to Calculate Your UPSSSC PET Expected Marks

Candidates can estimate their raw marks by comparing their responses with a reliable answer key and applying the prescribed marking scheme.

Formula:

Expected raw score = (Number of correct answers × 1) − (Number of incorrect answers × 0.25)

For example, suppose a candidate attempts 85 questions, of which 70 are correct, and 15 are incorrect.
