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.
