Q:   What is the formula to calculate the CUSAT CAT score?

A:

 The formula to calculate the CUSAT CAT score is S = 3R-1W.

S is the CAT score; R is the number of right answers and W is the number of wrong answers.

Let us understand with the help of an example:

Let us suppose, the number of right answers are 180 and the number of wrong answers are 20 then the score will be calculated as

S = 3R – 1W  {Formula}

S = 3 (180) – 1 (20)  {Put the values of R and W}

S = 540 – 20  {Multiply 3 & 180 and 1 & 20}

S = 520

So, the score will be 520 marks.

Q:   What is the formula to calculate the CUSAT CAT score?

A:

 The formula to calculate the CUSAT CAT score is S = 3R-1W.

S is the CAT score; R is the number of right answers and W is the number of wrong answers.

Let us understand with the help of an example:

Let us suppose, the number of right answers are 180 and the number of wrong answers are 20 then the score will be calculated as

S = 3R – 1W  {Formula}

S = 3 (180) – 1 (20)  {Put the values of R and W}

S = 540 – 20  {Multiply 3 & 180 and 1 & 20}

S = 520

So, the score will be 520 marks.
