Calculate Your APS Score for Any South African University

Your APS (Admission Point Score) is the total number of points you earn based on your final school results. Universities in South Africa use your APS to decide whether you qualify for a course. The higher your APS, the better your chances of getting accepted.

When you apply to study at a university, your APS helps determine:

• Whether you qualify for your chosen course
• If you need to rewrite or upgrade your subjects
• Whether you should consider a diploma, degree, or higher certificate

Some competitive courses like Medicine, Law, or Engineering require very high APS scores, so it’s important to check early.

Don’t panic! If your APS score doesn’t meet the minimum:

• Some universities offer extended programmes
• You may still qualify for a diploma or higher certificate
• You can consider re-writing or upgrading your subjects
