Note your responses from the OMR sheet memory or rough sheet. Compare with the provisional key to estimate your score. Remember: provisional key may change after objections.

Do not file objections without proper reference material. NCERT textbooks and HPBOSE-prescribed references carry the most weight. Personal notes or coaching materials are usually not accepted.
