Frequently asked questions
How are SBI PO Prelims marks calculated?
SBI PO Prelims gives +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong one, 0 for a question left unattempted. Score = (correct x 1) - (wrong x 0.25). The paper has 100 questions for 100 marks.
What is the negative marking in SBI PO Prelims?
Each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. An unattempted question costs nothing.
If I attempt 70 and get 56 right, what is my score?
56 x 1 = 56, minus 14 x 0.25 = 3.5, so 52.5 out of 100.
Should I guess when unsure?
One right answer cancels 4 wrong ones. A blind guess among four options is worth 0.06 marks on average, so it is slightly positive; after ruling out two options a guess is worth 0.38.
Does this calculator predict my percentile or cut-off?
No. It computes your raw score from the official marking scheme. Percentiles and cut-offs depend on how everyone else scored, which only the conducting body publishes.
