Marking Scheme and Calculating Scores
Understanding how to calculate scores based on the answer key is essential for candidates looking to assess their performance accurately:
- Bachelors Level Exam: Consists of 150 questions worth a total of 175 marks. Each correct answer earns +1 mark (or +2 marks for Reading Comprehension), while incorrect answers incur a penalty of -¼ mark (or -½ mark for two-mark questions).
- HSSLC Level Exam: Also consists of 150 questions worth a total of 150 marks, with similar marking rules.
To calculate your score:
- Count your correct answers.
- Multiply incorrect answers by -0.25 (or -0.5 for two-mark questions).
- Subtract the total penalty from your correct answers.
This calculation will give you a rough estimate of your score based on your performance in the exam.
Conclusion
The release of the ADRE Answer Key is a significant milestone for candidates who took part in the examination process. With access to both the answer key and OMR sheets, candidates can effectively evaluate their performance and address any discrepancies through objections if necessary. As you prepare for subsequent stages in this recruitment process, stay informed about updates on results and further instructions from SEBA. Good luck!
