The ratio for calculation is; 70:30, i.e 70% JAMB score and 30% O’ level subject score 70/100 = 0.7; 30/100 = 0.3

Points Per O’level Grade:

A1= 90
B2= 80
B3= 70
C4= 60
C5= 55
C6= 50
D7= 25
E8 to F9=0
Awaiting Result (AR) =0

BONUS: Students who credits all required subjects in one sitting get 10 points, while students with two sittings gets 0 point

Now, here is a typical example for a student with One sitting O’level (+10)

Subjects	JAMB Score	O’level Grade	O’level Point
English	46	C5	55
Mathematics	54	C4	60
Physics	40	D7	25
Chemistry	40	C4	60
TOTAL	180		200

Final Score: 180*0.7 + 200*0.3 + 10 (one sitting bonus) = 196
