Is there negative marking in SEED?

No, there is no negative marking -- 1 mark is awarded per correct answer with no penalty for wrong or unattempted questions.

Does the SEED score alone determine admission?

No. Qualifying SEED leads to a mandatory Portfolio Review and Personal Interaction (PRPI) round -- final admission is based on the combined performance across all three stages, not the SEED score alone.
