Process for Arriving at Standard Scores in the
Common Written Examination
- 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.
- 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*.
- 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 Standardized Scores with Mean 25 and Standard Deviation
