Time taken to answer each question affects the score?

I've searched the forum but couldn't find the answer (maybe I didn't use the right search term), but does the time taken to answer each question affect your score?

An easy question, taken too much time to answer will incur a heavier penalty than a tougher question?

And a tougher question which was answered correctly in a shorter amount time is rewarded with a higher score?

Is there any truth in this?

This is sheer non-sense i must say. I've never ever heard of whatever you have mentioned. Please do not believe them. It's all rumour.

Of course, time taken to answer a question matters in an exam but rewarding for answering tough questions qucikly and imposing penalty for taking time to answer easier questions is all nonsense.
