INI-CET section breakdown
The INI-CET mock test on Wrexa Edge replicates the real exam's section structure — same names, same question count per section, same time limits. Inter-section breaks are enforced.
INI-CET scoring & marking scheme
Strategy: INI-CET penalises wrong answers (-0.25 per mistake). Skip a question if you cannot eliminate at least 2 options — guessing blindly hurts your scaled score more than blanking.
Scale: INI-CET (out of 200).
