What Is Total Score
The Total Score is the final number of marks you get in the SSC GD exam. It is found by adding marks for correct answers and taking away marks for wrong ones. This score helps you see how well you did on the test before the final cutoff is released.
How Total Score Is Calculated
Formula
Total Score = (Correct Answers × 2) − (Incorrect Answers × 0.25)
Where:
- Correct Answers = number of questions you got right
- 2 = marks given for each right answer
- Incorrect Answers = number of questions you got wrong
- 0.25 = marks taken away for each wrong answer
To find the score, you first multiply your correct answers by 2. This gives you your positive marks. Then, you multiply your wrong answers by 0.25. This is your negative marking. Finally, you take the negative marks away from the positive marks to get your final Total Score.
Why Total Score Matters
Knowing your Total Score helps you guess your rank. It shows if you are likely to clear the exam based on past years' cutoff marks.
Why Accuracy Is Important for Exam Ranking
Answering many questions is good, but accuracy is often better. If you guess too many questions and get them wrong, the 0.25 mark penalty can lower your score a lot. A high number of wrong answers might hurt your final result even if you attempted many questions.
Total Score vs Normalized Score
The Total Score is your raw mark based on the answer key. The Normalized Score is adjusted by the SSC to make scores fair across different exam shifts and difficulty levels. This calculator estimates the raw score, but the final merit list may use the normalized score.
