Part I :  Process for Arriving at Standard Scores in the Common Written Examination

 

 

 

The Standard Scores are obtained by adopting the following procedure:

(i)         Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is

considered for arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers.

(ii)        The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care

of the minor difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held

in different sessions to arrive at the Equated Scores*.

(iii)       The Equated Scores so obtained are standardized** to arrive at Final Standard

Score   with   a   minimum      ‘0’   and   maximum     ‘50’   by   following   Linear

Transformation Method.

 

This procedure is followed for each of the tests.

 

* Scores obtained by candidates on any test are equated to the base form by considering the distribution of
        scores of all the forms.

** The equated scores in each test are scaled to Standardised Scores with Mean 25 and Standard Deviation 5
