Calculating Your Estimated Score
After downloading your answer key and response sheet, you can calculate your likely score. Compare the answers you marked in your response sheet with the correct answers given in the final answer key. Apply the marking scheme:
- Add 3 marks for each answer you got right.
- Subtract 1 mark for each answer you got wrong.
- Do not add or subtract marks for questions you did not attempt.
This will give you a close idea of your CAT 2025 score before the official results are declared.
