NEET candidates can use the answer key provided by NTA to calculate their probable scores in the examination. 

 

  • Once NTA releases the NEET 2022 answer keys, students can use them to match the answers that they have marked on their OMR sheets. 
  • Students can download their personal responses as well from the NEET account, as mentioned above. 
  • An important thing here is to match the question paper booklet number/code and the answer key that they are using to tally their own answers. 
  • Now, they have to calculate how many questions were answered correctly and how many questions were answered incorrectly. 
  • Then, candidates can calculate their probable scores based on the NEET marking scheme and this formula –

 

NEET 2022 score = [4*(Number of Correct Responses)] – [1*(Number of Incorrect Responses)]

 

Calculating your probable NEET scores is beneficial for students as it can further help them in the admissions process. Based on your score, you can get an idea about the colleges you can apply to.
