• Three marks are awarded for each correct answer, thus, if the candidate correctly answers 50 questions, the score will be 50×3 = 150.
• One mark will be deducted for each incorrect response. So, if a candidate marks 10 questions incorrectly, he or she will receive a ten-point penalty.
• To calculate the CAT Raw score, subtract the total marks deducted from the total marks scored, which is 150-10 = 140.
