Yes, after the provisional answer key is released, candidates can challenge any answer they believe is incorrect by submitting a formal objection along with supporting evidence. A nominal fee per question is charged for submitting challenges. The organizing institute reviews all valid objections and releases a final answer key that is used to calculate scores.
