IBPS : Process for Arriving at Standard Scores in the Common Written Examination

I. Process for Arriving at Standard Scores in the Common Written Examination 
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
