Process for Arriving at Standard Scores Probationary Officers/ Management Trainees (CWE-POs/MTs-II)

The Standard Scores are obtained by adopting the following procedure: 
(i)  Number  of  questions  answered  correctly  by  a  candidate  in  each  objective  test  is 
considered for arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers. 
(ii)  The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the 
minor difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different 
sessions to arrive at the Equated Scores*. 
(iii)  The Equated Scores so obtained are standardized** to arrive at Final Standard Score with 

a minimum ‘0’ and maximum ‘50’ by following Linear Transformation Method.  
 This procedure is followed for each of the tests. 

*  Scores  obtained  by  candidates  on  any  test  are  equated  to  the  base  form  by  considering  the 
distribution of scores of all the forms. 
** The equated  scores  in each  test are  scaled  to Standardised Scores with Mean 25 and Standard 
Deviation 5
