D. Final Score Calculation:

The final score is computed as follows: Final Score=(UTME score×0.7)+[(O’level score+Bonus)×0.3]\text{Final Score} = (\text{UTME score} \times 0.7) + [(\text{O'level score} + \text{Bonus}) \times 0.3]Final Score=(UTME score×0.7)+[(O’level score+Bonus)×0.3]

Example Calculation:

• Single Sitting:

  • UTME Score: 285
  • O'level Grades:
    • English: B3 (70 points)
    • Biology: A1 (90 points)
    • Physics: C4 (60 points)
    • Chemistry: B2 (80 points)
  • Calculation: Final Score=(285×0.7)+[(300+10)×0.3]=199.5+93=292.5\text{Final Score} = (285 \times 0.7) + [(300 + 10) \times 0.3] = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5Final Score=(285×0.7)+[(300+10)×0.3]=199.5+93=292.5

• Two Sittings:

  • UTME Score: 285
  • O'level Grades:
    • English: B3 (70 points)
    • Biology: A1 (90 points)
    • Physics: C4 (60 points)
    • Chemistry: B2 (80 points)
  • Calculation: Final Score=(285×0.7)+[(300+0)×0.3]=199.5+90=289.5\text{Final Score} = (285 \times 0.7) + [(300 + 0) \times 0.3] = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5Final Score=(285×0.7)+[(300+0)×0.3]=199.5+90=289.5

Difference: The difference between a candidate with a single sitting and one with two sittings is 3 points (292.5 – 289.5).
