IGCSE → Tawjihi equivalency calculator
Estimate your Jordanian Tawjihi equivalency (mu'adalah) from your IGCSE/O-Level & A-Level grades. Pick your grades below — the result updates instantly.
Estimate only. Official equivalency for a school certificate is issued by Jordan's Ministry of Education — not the Ministry of Higher Education, whose Recognition & Equivalency directorate covers university degrees. The rules are revised from time to time (the Tawjihi system was restructured from 2024–25), so plan with this, then confirm the rules in force.
6 × IGCSE / O-Level (A–D)
2 × A-Level (A–E)
Note: for Arab students, Arabic must be one of the 8 subjects. Grades are averaged across all subjects you select.

FAQ
How is the Jordanian Tawjihi equivalency calculated?
Each IGCSE/A-Level grade is given a numerical value and your equivalency is the average across 8 subjects (typically 6 O-Level/IGCSE + 2 A-Levels, including Arabic for Arab students). This tool uses commonly-cited approximate values; always confirm the rules in force with the Ministry of Education.
What score do I need for medicine or engineering in Jordan?
Competitive majors generally need a high equivalency — often around 85% or above, and higher in practice for medicine. Equivalency students also compete under a limited quota for public universities, so aim as high as you can.
Is this equivalency calculator official?
No. It is an estimate based on commonly-cited grade values to help you plan. Official equivalency for a school-leaving certificate is issued by Jordan's Ministry of Education — not the Ministry of Higher Education, whose equivalency directorate covers university degrees — and the rules are revised from time to time.
How many subjects do I need for equivalency?
Typically 6 IGCSE/O-Level subjects at A*–D plus 2 A-Levels at A–E (8 total), completed over twelve years of schooling. Jordanian students must also take the national subjects: Arabic, Islamic Education for Muslim students, and National & Social Education.
