I am sitting the FSc improvement exam. How do the new marks change my aggregate?

1. Accepted answer

   What it is worth first, because that decides whether the effort pays. FSc carries 40% of the aggregate, so every percentage point of FSc moves the total by 0.4 points. Taking 942 to 1,000 out of 1,100 is a gain of about 5.3 FSc points, which is roughly 2.1 aggregate points. For comparison, 10 extra MDCAT marks are worth about 2.8.

   Which marks the university reads is the part to verify before you rely on the plan. The rule lives in the admitting university's own admission policy and prospectus, and boards issue improvement results on dates of their own. A result that arrives after the university's application deadline cannot be entered on your application, so check the board's result date against the admission window before registering for the paper. UHS's 2026-27 policy was notified on 14 October 2026, and the objection and correction routes in the university's notice, not a phone call, are how a record gets amended.

   Two ground rules that do not move:

   • The 60% HSSC floor for admission stands. PM&DC clarified in October 2026 that the intermediate requirement had not been relaxed, after reports circulated saying otherwise.
   • The formula does not change for improvement candidates. MDCAT 50%, HSSC 40%, Matric 10%, and the calculator applies it the same way either way.

   Run both versions of your profile in the calculator, with the old marks and the improved ones, and you will see what the paper is worth before you spend months on it. The aggregate guide covers the tie-breakers that follow, and the merit list page shows where this cycle's lists close.
