Marking scheme for the test

The total number of points that can be achieved on the test is 60. Each correct answer is awarded 3 points. The selected option “N” (I don’t know”) carries zero points, while each incorrect answer results in a penalty (-0.3 points). Additionally, if you do not select any of the offered answers (“A - D” or “N”), you will receive negative points.
