Raw score

[goyalD141284]

hello everyone
I have a doubt which needs to be cleared before I take the xam so tht I can set an aim ...
if some one gets a raw score of 80/100 in any subject, does tht mean 80 questions right?
are all the questions equally marked?
i have heard tht marking a simple question wrong make you loose more marks?
is that the case?
on what basis are the raw scores given for each subject?

HI Goyal, I have the same doubt . I read that your raw score is not the number of questions you mark right. You need to get 50-55 questions right to get a score of 75 in that subject.

Is this true? Please help. I have been taking a fw of these crack the nbde exams and getting a raw score of 80-85 in each subject. Will this translate into a decent overall score?
