Importance of Downloading Your Response Sheet
The response sheet shows the answers you actually marked during the computer-based exam — not your intended answers. Always compare your response sheet against the provisional key (not your memory of the exam). This is the most accurate way to estimate your score and identify which answers to challenge.
Estimated Score = (Correct Answers × Marks per question) – (Wrong Answers × Negative marks, if applicable)
Check the official GSSSB CCE notification for the exact marking scheme.
