Important Note for Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs):
To answer a question, the candidates need to choose one option corresponding to the correct answer or the most appropriate answer.
However, if after the process of challenges of the key, more than one option is found to be correct then the multiple correct options will be given four marks (+4).
Any incorrect option marked will be given the minus one mark (-1). Unanswered/Marked for Review will be given no marks.
