No. Paper I is common to all streams of the Combined Geo-Scientist exam, so these tests are for geologists, geophysicists and hydrogeologists as much as for chemists.
Exactly like UPSC: +0.83 for a right answer, −0.28 for a wrong one, nothing for a blank. You see your score against VKC's target, your topic-wise strengths and weak spots, and the solution to every question as soon as you submit.
