Hello Aspirant,

As per your profile you are a Medicine aspirant so you might be asking for NEET, if not then please mention the correct one in the comment section below.

As there are total 180 questions in NEET each for 4 marks if attempted correctly but for -1 if attempted incorrectly, so if you attempt 170 questions correctly then you will have 170*4 = 680 and for 10 incorrect attempts 10*-1=(-10) so in total you will get 670 out of 720 marks in NEET.

For your reference, the NEET UG 2021 exam pattern is as follows:-

>> NEET UG paper will consists of 4 subjects namely Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Zoology and each subject will be divided in two sections, Section-A and Section-B.

>> Now Section-A will consists of 35 compulsory questions and Section-B A will consists of 15 questions out of which only 10 questions to be attempted of the choice of candidate.

>> 4 marks will be awarded for every correct answer and 1 mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer so make sure to tick only on the answer for which you are sure to avoid negative marking.

Hi


Your profile suggests that it's about neet ug.

In neet there's negative marking of 1 marks for each wrong option selected and for each correct answer you are awarded 4 marks.


Now,

You attempt 170 questions, and 10 are wrong, so correct answer = 170 - 10 = 160 .

So,

Your 10 answers are wrong and 160  answers  are correct.


Then ,

Marks for correct answers

= number of correct answers * 4

=160*4

=640 marks


Marks deducted for wrong  answers

= number of wrong answers * 1

=10*1

=10


Then,

Marks obtained

=Marks for correct answers - Marks deducted for wrong  answers

= 640-10

=630 marks

To help you further,

Here's a brief a neet 2021 exam pattern  as it has changed a little bit.

* Neet examination will be conducted for a total of 720 marks.

*Question will be from 4 subjects

  • physics,

  • chemistry,

  • zooloy

  • botany

*There will be 50 questions ( 35 + 15 ) in each subject . So, there will be a total of 200 questions ( 50 question x 4 = 200 questions).


  • Section A :-  it contains 35 mcqs

  • Section B :- it contains 15 mcqs out of which any 10 mcqs is to be attempted

So, in each subject you have to attempt only 45 questions.

*Total number of question to be attempted

= 45 mcqs per subject x 4 subject

= 180 questions can be attempted.

* Duration of examination is 3 hours.

Marking scheme:-

* 4 marks will be awarded to you for every correct answer

* there is negative marking of one mark for every wrong answer

*No mark is deducted for unanswered questions
