How will the score be calculated?

Candidate’s initial scores will be calculated for each section based on the number of questions answered correctly, incorrectly, or omitted. For each correct answer +3 points are given while for incorrect answer -1 point is given. No points are given for questions that are not answered.

What scores will be presented to me on results day?

Three scaled scores will be presented for each candidate: an overall scaled score and two separate scaled scores for each section. As the two sections evaluate distinct sets of knowledge and skills, scores do not correlate across sections. A high score in one section does not guarantee a high score in another section. Percentile rankings are provided for each individual section as well as for the overall exam score.
