MDCAT Aggregate Calculator

Work out the exact MDCAT score you need to hit your target university’s merit aggregate. Enter your Matric and FSC marks, set a target aggregate, and the calculator solves for the MDCAT percentage — and raw marks — you need, using the common 50% MDCAT · 40% FSC · 10% Matric weighting.

How to use it
  • Matric & FSC marks — what you scored, out of each exam’s total (e.g. 1080 / 1200).
  • Target aggregate % — the merit percentage your university needs (e.g. 85%).
  • MDCAT total marks — the paper’s total (usually 180).

Example: 1080/1200 Matric, 1056/1200 FSC and a 85% target → you’d need about 81.60% (≈ 147/180) on the MDCAT.

How the MDCAT aggregate is calculated

Most public-sector medical admissions combine three exams into a single merit percentage — your “aggregate” — with the MDCAT carrying the most weight:

Aggregate % = (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSC % × 0.40) + (MDCAT % × 0.50)

Worked example. With 90% in Matric, 88% in FSC and 85% on the MDCAT: 90 × 0.10 = 9.0, plus 88 × 0.40 = 35.2, plus 85 × 0.50 = 42.5 — an aggregate of 86.7%. The planner above runs this in reverse: it tells you the MDCAT score needed to reach a target aggregate from your Matric and FSC marks.

Important: these weightings and exam totals are estimates — they vary by province, university and year (some admitting bodies weight the MDCAT differently or use different totals). Treat the result as a planning guide and confirm the exact formula in your target university’s current admission policy. You can edit the exam totals in the calculator to match yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MDCAT aggregate formula?
A common merit formula weights MDCAT at 50%, FSC at 40% and Matric at 10%: Aggregate % = Matric% × 0.10 + FSC% × 0.40 + MDCAT% × 0.50. Always confirm the exact weighting your university uses, as it can differ.
How much does the MDCAT count towards the aggregate?
Around 50% in the common public-sector formula — by far the biggest single component — which is why a strong MDCAT score moves your merit the most.
What aggregate do I need for MBBS in a public medical college?
Merit closing percentages change every year and vary by province, but public MBBS seats often need roughly 85% or higher. Use the planner above to see the MDCAT score that gets you there from your Matric and FSC marks.
Does the weightage change by university or province?
Yes. Different admitting bodies and provinces use different weightings and totals, and policies change year to year. The numbers here use the common 50/40/10 estimate — verify the current official policy for your target university.
Is the calculator free?
