3- How to Calculate the Merit for MDCAT 2023 Manually?

Step 1: Calculate the percentage of your MDCAT score: 

For example, you scored

1. 130/150 in MDCAT 2023,
2. 1050/1100 in HSSC/FSc
3. 1070/1100 in SSC/Matric

In percentage, these will be

1. MDCAT (130/150)*100 = 86.667%
2. HSSC/FSc (1050/1100)*100 = 95.45%
3. SSC/Matric (1070/1100)*100 = 97.72

Step 2: Proportionate your percentages to the Merit: 

   1- Proportionate MDCAT Score @ 50%

86.667*(50/100) = 43.335

   2- Proportionate HSSC/FSc Score @ 40%

95.45*(40/100) = 38.18

   3-  Proportionate SSC/Matric Score @ 10%

97.72*(10/100) = 9.77

 Step 3: Sum the score from Step 2: 

Your MDCAT 2023 Merit = 43.335+38.18+9.77 = 91.285%
