About Aptitude Test Score Calculator

Score divides correct answers by the full paper, accuracy divides them by what you attempted, and the projection shows what completing the paper at the same accuracy would give. The gap between score and accuracy is the cost of not finishing, which tells you whether to work on speed or on getting more answers right.

Formula

Score and accuracy

score % = correct / total questions x 100; accuracy % = correct / attempted x 100

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
