1. What is an SSC Marks Calculator?

Definition: This calculator computes the total marks for SSC (Secondary School Certificate) examinations based on correct answers and question weights.

Purpose: It helps students and educators calculate total scores when different sections have different weights per question.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( M \) — Total marks (dimensionless)
• \( C_i \) — Correct answers for section i (dimensionless)
• \( W_i \) — Weight per question (dimensionless)

Explanation: For each section, multiply the number of correct answers by the weight per question, then sum all sections.

3. Importance of Marks Calculation

Details: Accurate marks calculation ensures fair evaluation and helps students understand their performance across different sections.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of correct answers and weight per question for each section. All values must be ≥ 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if different questions have different weights?
A: For sections with varying weights, calculate each question separately and sum them as one "section".

Q2: How do I handle negative marking?
A: This calculator doesn't account for negative marking. You would need to subtract penalties separately.

Q3: Can I add more than two sections?
A: Currently this version supports two sections, but you can run multiple calculations and sum the results.

Q4: What's the typical weight per question?
A: Most SSC questions are weighted equally (1.0), but some sections may have different weights.

Q5: Does this calculate percentage or grade?
A: No, this only calculates raw marks. You would need to divide by total possible marks for percentage.
