Negative Marking Calculator for Competitive Exams

This negative marking calculator helps you estimate your exam score when wrong answers carry penalties. It is useful for competitive exams, entrance tests, MCQ exams, and online assessments where marks are deducted for incorrect responses.

How Negative Marking is Calculated

Exams with negative marking reduce your total score for each wrong answer. To calculate your final score, multiply correct answers by marks per question and subtract the penalty for wrong answers.

Final Score = (Correct Answers × Marks per Question) − (Wrong Answers × Negative Marks)

Example Calculation

If you answered 80 questions correctly and 20 incorrectly, with 1 mark per correct answer and 0.25 negative marking:

Score = (80 × 1) − (20 × 0.25) = 80 − 5 = 75
