What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Your achieved grade, Best possible grade, Minimum passing grade. The calculation uses the values you enter for Your achieved grade, Best possible grade, Minimum passing grade and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

Institutions can use their own conversion method. Use this formula only where it is accepted or requested for planning.

What the number does not prove

An admissions pre-screen can identify published gaps, but it cannot guarantee admission. Programme-specific prerequisites, document review, capacity and holistic selection can still control the outcome.

Best next step

Use the result to identify the exact programme requirement that needs verification next, then check the institution’s current admissions page before paying an application fee.
