Your final aggregate score is calculated as follows:
- UTME Score: 50% → (JAMB score ÷ 8)
- POST-UTME Score: 40%
- O’Level Result: 10%
O’Level Grading Scale:
A1 = 10 | B2 = 9 | B3 = 8 | C4 = 7 | C5 = 6 | C6 = 5 (D7 and below = 0)
Only your five best subjects are considered:

Example:
English (B2 = 9), Chemistry (A1 = 10), Physics (B3 = 8), Biology (B2 = 9), Mathematics (A1 = 10)
Total = 46 → 46 ÷ 5 = 9.2/10
