Why No Negative Marking?
CNTS is a cognitive discoverytool — not a gatekeeping competition. Negative marking introduces anxiety and risk-aversion, which distorts the true measurement of a child's thinking ability. Attempting every question freely gives us a more accurate Brain Strength Report.
Attempt every question without fear
True cognitive profile — not test strategy
Encourages analytical guessing — a real skill
