Entered rule check
Meets entered rule
Required subjects met:English Language, Mathematics. Missing or below-threshold:None.
Rule applied: count subjects at or above the selected grade threshold, require each listed compulsory subject to meet that threshold, and compare the total with the minimum credit count you enter.
Grade order used: A1, B2, B3, C4, C5, C6, D7, E8, F9. This is a user-defined rule checker, not an official WAEC/NECO admissions rule. Confirm subject combinations, minimum credits and accepted sittings with the receiving institution.

Interpretation and limitations
NECO grade interpretation and admission requirements must be checked against official current publications. A worked concordance example: an ACT composite of 28 maps to an SAT total midpoint of 1,310 in the 2018 concordance. This compares relative standing; it does not predict an individual's SAT result. AP, GCSE and A-level cutoffs vary by subject and exam series. WAEC and NECO admissions requirements vary by institution, so the editable credit checker does not state an official admissions rule.
