So Calculate how many marks you are very sure of, then divide my the total marks the questions carry and multiply by 100%.

For Example: You are required to answer 5 questions in the theory part. Each question carries 20 marks.

Now, you are able to answer4 questions and only sure of 15 marks out of total 20marks for each question.

  • The total marks you are sure of here is 15 times 4 = 60
