How to calculate probable scores using JEE Main Answer Key

Candidates can figure out their expected score in JEE Main 2024 by using the answer key. To guess their possible scores in the JEE Main 2024 exam, candidates can use the formula below:

Probable Score = (Number of right answers × 4) - (Number of wrong answers)

Keep in mind that we say "probable" because authorities might cancel a question or change the correct response in the JEE Main 2024 answer key. So, the calculated score may change depending on how JEE Mains marks are distributed and the final JEE Main result.

Since the JEE Main exam has a system where candidates lose marks for wrong answers but gain them for correct ones, the table below shows how this scoring works:
