Elitmus Syllabus : Negative Marking Scheme:-

Elitmus test contains 60 questions and those 60 questions to be solved in 120 minutes (2 Hours), Each question carries 10 marks in all the sections. Every section will have 20 questions and it carries 200 marks in all sections. Negative marking will be calculated through the student wrong attempts. For example, If you did more than 25% Wrongly attempted questions then you will get negative marking for questions wrongly done. You will lose 5 marks out of 10 marks for question which you wrongly attempted in the outer part of 25% and questions which are Unattempted doesn’t follow any penalty.

Example:
Case 1: Student ‘A’ attempts 12 questions in a section.

Ouput Result: 9 Right, 3 Wrong, 8 Unattempted.

He did exactly 25% wrong in his total no of attempts. Out of 12 questions 9 questions 75% correct 3 questions 25% wrong. So he doest have any negative marking.

Score: 90 (9 Correct questions , 10 marks gets each questions 9*10=90)

Case 2: Student ‘B’ attempts 12 questions in a section.

Output Result: 8 Right , 4 Wrong, 8 Unattempted.

He did 33% wrong in his total no of attempts which is more than 25% wrong attempts made. Out 12 questions 8 questions correct 66% 4 questions 33% wrong. So he will have negative marking for only wrong attempts over the 25% i.e., only 1 question will have the penalty of 5 marks in the wrongly attempted questions.

Score: 75 (8 Correct questions, 10 marks for each question 8*10=80, Wrong attempts over 25% 1*5=5 , 80-5=75)

Mode of exam will be Pen/Paper OMR mode. Students should mark their answers in the OMR Sheets. E-litmus test will conduct every week or twice in a month. It will conducted in only big cities.
