The total duration of the exam will be one hundred eighty minutes. Each section will carry one hundred marks. Mathematics questions will hold two marks each, while Physics, Chemistry and Biology questions will carry one mark. There is no negative marking in any section, a feature that continues from previous editions of the examination.
