How the standard APS works

80–100% = 7 points · 70–79% = 6 · 60–69% = 5 · 50–59% = 4 · 40–49% = 3 · 30–39% = 2 · 0–29% = 1. Life Orientation is excluded from this standard 6-subject APS calculation.

Important: APS is not calculated identically by every South African university or programme. Some institutions use different formulas, weighted scores, subject bonuses, percentage-based scores or programme-specific selection rules. Meeting an APS minimum does not guarantee admission. Always confirm the current programme requirements with the university.
