How To Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score
To calculate your IMSU Post UTME aggregate score, divide your UTME score by 8 and your Post UTME score by 2.
For example, If Abdul scored 260 in JAMB and 50% in the Post UTME, then:
260 ÷ 8 = 32.5
50 ÷ 2 = 25
Finally, 32.5+ 25 = 57.5%
So, Abdul’s overall IMSU aggregate score is 57.5%.
