Formula and worked example

Correct Incorrect Calculator method: Raw score = correct answers × marks per correct answer − incorrect answers × the entered penalty.

Worked example: Using sample weights of +4 and −1, 50 correct and 10 incorrect answers give 50×4 − 10×1 = 190 marks.

Important limit: Sample weights are illustrative. Copy the current paper's question-type rules; this does not calculate rank, percentile, normalization, or selection.
