Safe Target Score
Scoring 155+ marks in Tier 1 mock tests provides a 95%+ probability of qualifying regardless of shift difficulty fluctuations.
Good Raw Score
A raw score of 135–145 marks in tough shifts gets normalized upwards by 10 to 15 marks during final percentile calculation.
Shift Normalization Formula & Factors
Because exams are conducted across multiple days and shifts, raw scores are normalized to balance varying difficulty levels:
- Hard Shift Multiplier: Raw scores in hard shifts are increased by up to 12-18 marks.
- Easy Shift Benchmark: Raw scores in easy shifts require higher raw attempts to clear the cutoff.
- Negative Marking Impact: Incorrect guesses hurt normalized percentiles significantly more than skipped questions.
