Score Estimation Formula for NFAT
Here’s how your raw score is calculated:
- +1 mark for every correct response
- –0.25 mark for each incorrect attempt
- 0 marks for unanswered questions
Example Calculation: If you got 60 correct and 20 wrong: (60 × 1) – (20 × 0.25) = 60 – 5 = 55 marks
You can use this method with the answer key to forecast your admission prospects.
