How to calculate APS score

80% – 100% = 7 points
70% – 79% = 6 points
60% – 69% = 5 points
50% – 59% = 4 points
40% – 49% = 3 points
30% – 39% = 2 points
0% – 29% = 1 point
The percentage you received for each matric subject will determine your points and score calculations.

For example, Sipho had the following marks for his six matric subjects:

Math’s: 55%
English: 85%
IsiZulu: 77%
Geography: 90%
Life Science: 50%
Physical Science: 52%
This is what his points will look like:

Math= 4 points
English = 7 points
IsiZulu= 6 points
Geography= 7 points
Life Science= 4 points
Physical Science= 4 points
In total Sipho has a score of 32 APS, which isn’t too bad. The highest APS score that someone can get is 42. That would mean that they would have to have distinctions for all of their fundamental subjects.

Here are some of the minimum APS scores required for qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree 21+ points
Diploma – 18 points
Higher Certificate – 15 points
