Unless it has changed, the National Merit Scholarship test is right answers minus wrong answers, and if you do not answer a question, they do not grade any subsequent questions. That is the only test that I know of that is graded that way.
if you skip the first question and answer all 159 of the remaining questions correctly, your score is 0.
If you answer them all and get 150 correct, your score is 140.If you answer them all and get 120 correct, your score is 80.
Toughest scoring system on a standardized test that I have ever seen.
This was ACT test, and advice is to answer multiple choice questions.
