How to Calculate Your Score Using the OPSC AHO Answer Key

• To calculate an estimated score, follow the standard marking scheme used in OPSC examinations. While the official notification of AHO 2026 does not specify a detailed marking scheme, based on previous OPSC patterns, each correct answer typically earns 1 mark. Negative marking may be applicable (usually 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer) in certain papers. Candidates should refer to their admit card or the official recruitment notification for the exact scheme. Here is a simple method:
• Step 1: Count the number of correct answers for your set.
• Step 2: Multiply the number of correct answers by the marks per question (usually 1).
• Step 3: If negative marking exists, subtract 0.25 for each wrong answer.
• Step 4: Your raw score is the final figure.
• Remember, this is a provisional score. The final merit list will be based on the final answer key after considering all objections.
