How much my 3 a-level subjects affect this percentage? I mean would the 3 A level subjects be counted as O-levels or would be given more importance in equivalence?
AsSalamoAlaikum Wr Wb,

Remember A* = 90 ; A = 85 ; B = 75 ; C = 65

Now, for your A'level equivalence, they take 800 marks O'levels, and 300 marks ONLY for A'levels.

Now you have 788/900 for O'levels, which is equivalent to 700/800

So if you get 3A*s you'll have your A level equivalence as 970/1100 = 88.18%

2A*s and 1A 965/1100 = 87.73%

1A* and 2As 960/1100 = 87.27%

3As 955/1100 = 86.82%

To calculate the merit a total of 3100 marks are used

1700 for O levels, only 300 for A levels, 1100 for MCAT

O level is in fact double counted, first for the 10% O level equivalence, then again for the A level equivalence

He's asking for the A'level equivalence, and not the MCAT aggregate.

I think Moderator is correct though i dont know what MCAT is, I want my equivalence which I have to submit to NED (I just dont know the details which equivalence it is- the reason em here on this thread ) if 1 A level subject is counted simply as one subject of O levels - there's no better news than this!

Thank you so much, It was very helpful. But I could not understand the third line of your reply,
how do I have marks 788 out of "900" . I told you 8 subjects' grades, how is the total 900?

For MCAT/medicine in pakistan, please see the attached presentation
ive talked about equivalences, mcat, aggregate scores, preference list, backups and medicine in foreign countries.

If you have a question, post it on my wall

6A*s (6x90) + 1A (1x85) + 1B (1X75) =700/800

These marks are then scaled out of 900 for matric equivalent

(700/800)*900 = 787.5/900

Ok, so I saw your earlier post.

I'd like to ask one thing, any of your A*s before june 2010? And in that case, was it GCE O'level that you appeared or IGCSE?


And well, your marks are calculated out of 800 [OR 500 if you appear for O and A Level exams from abroad] and then equivalent out of 900 is calculated. In other words, 900 is set as a standard total.

AsSalamoAlaikum Wr Wb,

Please let me know some of the things.

>Let me know which sunjects you took exactly, and the grades in each of them.

>Medical or Engineering?

I am appearing from UAE. Therefore, no I have not done Islamiyat or Pak Studies :/
These were my subs in O levels:
English, English Lit., Business=A*
Bio, Chem, Maths=A
Phy=B

For A levels
Bio & Phy=D
CHem=E
Maths=B

Medicine!

*The thing is I have resat Bio & Chem AS again so Im waiting for the new results.

Ok if you're appearing for both O and A levels from abroad, you don't need Pakistan Studies and Islamiyat.

And the only subjects that'll be counted are English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics; So your grades are 1A* , 3A , 1B

Your O'level Equivalence is 756/900 (84%)

This just proves that I was using the formula wrong because I got 75% for O levels :/
I suppose you didn't do the AS-Levels because I haven't completed A-levels yet?

In any case, thanks a lot! I appreciate it :)

For A'levels [Equivalence will be made after you complete A2], 800 marks of O'levels and 300 from A'levels.

If you opt for medical, your grades in Biology, Chemistry and Physics will be counted.

If you opt for engineering, Maths instead of Biology is needed.

Since you have 756/900 which is equivalent to 672/800.

Your marks as per the following A'level grades,

3A*, then 942/1100 (85.64%)

2A* & 1A , then 937/1100

1A* & 2A , then 932/1100

3A , then 927/1100

and so on....add the equivalent marks of the grades you achieve in the three required subjects..to 672, and that is your A'level equivalent marks out of 1100
