How to calculate your scores (Be like Etim!):

ETIM  scored 205 in UTME = 24 points

ETIM  applies for Public Administration 

ETIM  sat for WAEC once (1 sitting) = 10 points

ETIM  has 5 credits in the necessary subjects (3 x 5) =15 points

ETIM’S  total points = 49 points.

ETIM will now await the school to release the departmental cut-off point for his chosen course.
