How to Use the Provisional Answer Key to Calculate Scores
Candidates can estimate their CLAT scores using the provisional key. Use the formula given below to estimate the CLAT score:
Score=(Number of correct answers×1)−(Number of wrong answers×0.25)
For example, if a candidate answers 85 questions correctly, 20 incorrectly, and leaves 15 unattempted, the score calculation will be:
Correct answers: 85 × 1 = 85 marks
Wrong answers: 20 × 0.25 = 5 marks deducted
Unattempted: 15 × 0 = 0 marks
Total estimated score = 85 - 5 + 0 = 80 marks
