Tips for Using the Answer Key to Estimate Your Score

• Match your response sheet’s question paper Set/Code exactly with the corresponding answer key before comparing — different sets have different answer sequences
• Remember the -1 negative marking rule while calculating your estimated score — don’t just count correct answers
• Treat this as a provisional estimate only — your final score depends on the final answer key after objections are resolved
• If you spot a genuinely incorrect official answer with strong reference backing, use the objection window rather than assuming it will be auto-corrected
• Keep checking afcat.cdac.in for the final answer key and result announcement dates
