KLEE Exam Pattern
Now, we are going to talk about how the KLEE exam pattern works for this test. Firstly, this exam is online so it is easier to give answers in an instant when the candidate knows it. Plus, everyone at this age knows the basics of using a computer. Secondly, the exam has 200 questions. Thirdly, the sections are more or less of equal weightage.
Let us go a little bit more in-depth. First of all, the questions will be in an MCQ format. Secondly, each question will be for 3 marks. So in total 200 questions will be asked, therefore the total marks will be 600. Therefore, 600 is the maximum number of marks that are obtainable in this paper. Thirdly, there is a negative marking for this paper.
That is, if you answer a question wrongly then a mark will be deducted from your total. That is why candidates should only attempt the question if they absolutely know the answer to it. A single mark can be a difference-maker in passing or failing. The paper is divided primarily into three subject sections we discussed previously.
The general English section and general knowledge are for 195 marks each. The highest mark weightage goes to the legal studies section with 200 marks. All of this incorporates 600 marks. No marks are given to students if they do not attempt questions.
Candidates will have 2 hours to complete 200 questions. Thus time management is of the utmost importance when attempting the paper. Students need to practice with sample papers or mock tests which are available online. This helps proper preparation for the examination.
