How To Calculate OAU Aggregate Score
Your OAU aggregate score is the number they use to decide who gets admitted and who doesn’t. It combines your
- UTME score and
- O’level grades (especially for those who didn’t write Post-UTME).
Note: OAU doesn’t always conduct Post-UTME, so they rely on a screening method that merges your JAMB UTME score and your WAEC/NECO results
Steps On How To Calculate OAU Aggregate Score
- Divide your JAMB score by 8
- Add your O’Level Grade Point:
- A1 = 10 points
- B2 = 9 points
- B3 = 8 points
- C4 = 7 points
- C5 = 6 points
- C6 = 5 points
Here’s the formula:
Aggregate Score=(UTME score/8)+O’Level Grade Points
For example
Let’s say you scored 280 in UTME and your O’level (WAEC/NECO) results look like this:
- English – B2 (9 points)
- Mathematics – B3 (8 points)
- Chemistry – B2 (9 points)
- Physics – C4 (7 points)
- Biology – A1(10 points)
- So your five core subjects add up like this:
- 9 + 8 + 9 + 7 + 10 = 43 points
- Now divide your UTME score by 8:
- 280 ÷ 8 = 35
- Add both together:
- 35 (JAMB) + 43 (O’level) = 78 Aggregate Score
