simplyolat HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR JAMB, POST UTME,
WAEC /NECO COMPOSITE
Your Jamb score is allocated 50%, O level is 20%
and post-ume is 30%.
JAMB
Maximum score under JAMB is 400.To prorate to
50% your Jamb score will be divided by 8
(400/50)
WAEC/NECO
O level is calculated using the 5 core subjects
(core to the course you wish to study as decided
by the University) as follows
*A1-6points
*B2-5
*B3-4
*C4-3
*C5-2
*C6-1
Maximum is 30 p0ints The total points is then
prorated to 20 through multiplication by 2/3.
POST-UTME
Here is the score many candidates seem to find
rather confusing. Some complain of having a
higher score in the POST-UTME than university
cut-off points without being admitted.What they
must understand is that even if they score 100% in
that exam it amounts only to 30% of the cut-off
point. So their Post -Utme score is usually
prorated to 30 marks using 0.3 as the multiplier
Example: a candidate had 202 in Jamb and his O
level goes thus. Maths-B3, Chemistry-C4, Biology-
B2, English-C5, Physics-C6, Economic-B3,
Geography-A1 and had 58% in the post utme.
To calculate his composite, this is how it’s done.
Jamb score divided by 8 i.e 202/8=25.25
For the O level, only 5 subjects (math, english,
chemistry, biology, and physics) are needed. There
he has Math-B3-4points,English-
C5-2point,Chemistry-C4-3points,Biology-
B2-5points, Physics-C6-1point
Total gross points for O level= 4+2+3+5+1=15.
This score is then multiplied by 2/3 i.e 15 x
2/3=10.
His post utme score is allocated 30% and is
multiplied by 0.3. i.e 58 x 0.3=17.4
Therefore, the candidates’ composite is the sum
of these 3 scores i.e Jamb+O’level+post utme.
That is 25.25+10+17.4=5 2.65 Hence, the
candidate’s composite is 52.65.
Now note the 5-point gap between the composite
total and what he scored in the post-utme.That 5-
point gap may result in not being granted
admission! Okay?
