For most government exams: Total Score = (Correct Answers × Marks per Question) — (Wrong Answers × Negative Marking). Example: If SSC CGL has 2 marks per question and 0.5 negative marking — 60 correct, 10 wrong = (60×2) — (10×0.5) = 120 — 5 = 115 marks. Check the official exam notification for the exact marking scheme.
