👉 Scoring in most competitive exams, like the GRE, is calculated using a point format where each correct answer earns a specific number of points, and incorrect answers or unanswered questions deduct points. For example, in the GRE, you might get 4 points for a correct answer, -1 point for each wrong answer, and 0 points for unanswered questions. The total score is then the sum of all your correct answers minus the sum of your incorrect ones. This method ensures that accuracy is rewarded while penalizing errors, encouraging careful and thoughtful responses.
