Your score is calculated by adding 4 marks for each correct answer and deducting 1 mark for each wrong answer. Skipping a question costs nothing. For example, if you attempt 100 questions and get 80 right and 20 wrong, your score is (80 × 4) − (20 × 1) = 300 out of 480. Guessing randomly on questions you do not know hurts your score more than it helps.
