Hi there,

Right answer +4
Wrong answer -1
So if you are giving a wrong answer your 1 marks will be deductes along with the actual 4 marks which you could get if you answered it right it's not -5.
For example total score is 300 that's is 75×4 so if you leave any question you are letting go +4 and if you a doing a wrong question you are letting go+4 along with one minus marking that sums up to -5 from the total of 300 not for the particular question.

Hello aspirant
Hope you are doing great there. For every incorrect question , you loose 5 marks :-
-1 as negative marks
and -4 for incorrect answer
So yes if you give an incorrect answer you will loose 5 marks
For ex- If you have got attempts 10 question then if all 10 are correct then you will get 40 marks
If out of these 10 question, 1 in incorrect then you will get 35 marks
I hope you got your answer
