Weighted aptitude assessment procedure: two calculation examples
Calculation example 1: possible maximum score in the Abitur 900
The applicant has reached the average Abitur grade 1.0 with 833 (out of a total of 900 points).
Calculation of the university entrance qualification (HZB) score (HZB = Abitur)
833 : 60 = 13. 883333(no rounding up, the last decimal places are ignored)
Calculation of individual scores for core subjects:
the arithmetic mean of the last 4 school semesters
| Subject A: | 14 + 14 +13 + 13= 54 :4 = 13,50 points |
| Subject B: | 14 + 15 + 13 +14= 56 :4 =14,00 points |
| Subject C: | 10 + 11 + 12 + 12= 45 :4 =11,25 points |
Calculation of the total score relevant for selection:
| Weighting per item | ||||
| University entrance qualification: | 13,88 x 8,00 | = 111,04 | 80% | |
| Subject A: | 13,50 x 1,00 | = 13,50 | 10% | |
| Subject B: | 14,00 x 0,50 | = 7,00 | 5% | |
| Subject C: | 11,25 x 0,50 | = 5,62 | 5% | |
| Total: | = 137,16 | |||
| Result: | 137,16 | : 10= | 13,71 points |
If a different weighting system is applied to individual subjects (e.g. 60:20:10:10), the total score is calculated according to the same method.
This score determines the ranking of each applicant in the order of qualification.
Calculation example 2: possible maximum score in the Abitur 840 points
he applicant has reached the average Abitur grade 1.0 with 768 points (out of a total of 840 points)
Calculation of the university entrance qualification (HZB) score (HZB = Abitur)
768 : 56 = 13.714285 (no rounding up, last decimal places are ignored)
Calculation of individual scores for core subjects:
the arithmetic mean of the last 4 school semesters
| Subject A: | 14 + 13 + 13 + 14 = 54 :4 = 13,50 points |
| Subject B: | 13 + 12 + 12 + 11 = 48 :4 = 12,00 points |
| Subject C: | 11 + 10 + 10 + 13 = 44: 4 = 11,00 points |
Calculation of the total score relevant for selection:
| Weighting per item | ||||
| University entrance qualification: | 13,71 x 8,00 | = 109,68 | 80% | |
| Subject A: | 13,50 x 1,00 | = 13,50 | 10% | |
| Subject B: | 12,00 x 0,50 | = 6,00 | 5% | |
| Subject C: | 11,00 x 0,50 | = 5,50 | 5% | |
| Total | = 134,68 | |||
| Result: | 134,68 | : 10 = | 13,46 points |
If a different weighting system is applied to individual subjects (e.g. 60:20:10:10), the total score is calculated according to the same method.
This score determines the ranking of each applicant in the order of qualification.
