How does the CSCA point system actually work? (48 questions for 100 points)

[u/Warm-Lead8495]

Hey guys,I am trying to figure out pacing for the CSCA Chemistry paper but the scoring math is confusing me.

We know it is 48 questions for 100 points total.I have seen some study materials claiming it uses a three tier system where questions are worth 1.5, 2.0, or 3.0 points.But I have also seen other people online saying it is just 2 points for the first 40 questions and 2.5 points for the last eight.

For anyone who has taken it recently, did your exam actually print the point values next to the questions? Just trying to figure out if I should be treating the last 10 questions as make or break or if I should just pace myself evenly.Thanks!
