Count the total number of correct answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every correct response adds +1 mark to your score.

Count all incorrect answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each wrong answer carries a penalty of \u20130.25 marks, so calculate how many of your attempts fall under this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Apply the CLAT marking formula<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total Score =<\/strong> (Correct Answers \u00d7 1) \u2013 (Incorrect Answers \u00d7 0.25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives your estimated raw score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
