Qualifier Exam Score Calculator

By Editorial TeamLast reviewed

On this page

Enter your qualifier exam percentage in each course. The calculator checks the two conditions you must meet — a minimum in every course and a minimum average — and shows how many courses your average lets you register for in your first term.

  • Maths 1
    Needs 40%
  • Stats 1

  • CT

  • English 1

Average: 0.00% (needs 50%)

Your average is below 50%.

Two conditions, both required

Clearing the average is not enough on its own, and neither is clearing every course. A General-category candidate with 90, 85, 80 and 38 averages 73.25% but still does not qualify, because one course is below 40%.

How the average is worked out

Your qualifier average is the simple mean of your four course percentages — every course carries the same weight. With 72, 58, 64 and 81:

72+58+64+814=2754=68.75%\frac{72 + 58 + 64 + 81}{4} = \frac{275}{4} = 68.75\%

For a General-category candidate that clears both conditions: every course is above 40% and the average is above 50%.

What your average unlocks

Clearing the qualifier admits you to the Foundation level, and your average sets how many courses you may take in your first term — the calculator shows the number for your score, and the full table is on the exam pattern page. A higher average gives you more room to plan your first term, so it is worth aiming beyond the bare cut-off.

If you fall short

If you had a hall ticket but did not clear the exam, you can re-attempt in the same term without redoing the graded assignments. Use your course-by-course result to decide where to spend your revision time — the course below its minimum matters more than raising a strong one.

Does the qualifier score count later?

It can. If you register for courses in the same term as your qualifier, your qualifier exam score in a course counts as that course's first quiz (Quiz 1).
