SSC JHT Answer Key 2025- How to Calculate Your Score

The marking scheme is simple:

• +1 mark for each correct answer
• –0.25 mark for each wrong answer
• 0 mark for unattempted questions

Formula:

Total Score = (Correct Answers × 1) – (Wrong Answers × 0.25)

Example:

Correct Answers = 135

Wrong Answers = 25

Score = (135 × 1) – (25 × 0.25) = 135 – 6.25 = 128.75 marks

This gives you a good idea of your performance even before the final result.
