CCRAS Marking Schemes
Understanding how your score is calculated is vital before checking your final results. The evaluation criteria differ slightly between administrative/research positions and MTS roles:
Marking Formulas
- For Group A, B and C: Total Marks=(Total Attempted−Wrong Answers)×1+(Wrong Answers×−0.25)
- For MTS: Total Marks=(Total Attempted−Wrong Answers)×1
A negative marking of 0.25 marks applies to incorrect answers in Group A, B, and C posts, whereas MTS positions feature no negative marking.
