Understanding the APS
Your Admission Point Score is calculated from your best NSC subjects — usually six, excluding Life Orientation. Each subject earns points based on your percentage. Universities set a minimum APS per programme; meeting it is necessary but not always sufficient — competitive courses also weigh specific subjects.
