How NTS scores are reported
NTS reports your test score as a number out of 100 along with a percentile. The percentile is useful for self-comparison; the absolute score is what universities plug into the aggregate formula. The NTS score calculator at allgradecalculator.com takes the absolute score and combines it with your previous academic record to give you an admission aggregate.
Step-by-step
- Enter your Matric percentage.
- Enter your FSc / Intermediate percentage.
- Enter your NTS score (default total: 100).
- If your university uses non-default weights, switch to Custom and enter them.
- Read the aggregate.

Tips for raising your NTS-based aggregate
- NTS allows multiple attempts each year — improving the test directly raises the highest-weight component.
- For test prep, focus on the verbal and quantitative sections — they account for 70% of NAT-General scoring.
- Where universities allow GAT instead of NAT, GAT is usually scored more leniently.
- Combine with merit calculator to plan applications across multiple universities.
