Did you know that 70% for Maths Lit is be er than 40% for pure Maths?
Ge ng accepted into university in your chosen field is highly compe ve. Learners with the highest APS scores are selected
depending on the space available in any specific course. Of course, your subjects also count, but without a high enough APS score in
your chosen subjects, you may not meet the criteria for admission in your chosen field.
What is an APS Score? How do I calculate my APS Score?
Here is an example:
An APS (Admission Point Score) is a
method used by universi es to decide Marks are allocated as follows: · English First Language 68% = 5 points
whether students can get admission 80 – 100% 7 APS points · isiZulu Home Language 79% = 6 points
or not. Students are required to have 70 – 79% 6 APS points · Life Orienta on 59% = (Do not include
a specific APS Score in order to study 60 – 69% 5 APS points L.O in APS calcula ons)
at the university. Each university has a 50 – 59% 4 APS points · Mathema cal Literacy 65% = 5 points
40 – 49% 3 APS points · Physical Sciences 67% = 5 points
unique APS Score. Each course at the
university also has a unique APS 30 – 39% 2 APS points · Life Sciences 81% = 7 points (Dis nc on)
Score. 0 – 29% 1 APS points · Geography 76% = 6 points
5 + 6 + 5 + 5+ 7 + 6 = 34 APS Score
What APS Score do I need to follow the career of my dreams?
Each University has informa on available on their website, which will tell you what subjects are required, and the minimum APS
score needed to get accepted in that chosen field.
For example, if you want to study Chemical Engineering, you will need an overall APS score of 35, including a 5 (60-69%) for English
and a 6 (70 – 79%) for both pure Maths and Physical Science.
If all that chemical stuff is not for you, you have so many other op ons to consider. Perhaps you like people more than labs? Poli cal
Sciences is an example of a course of study for which you can take Maths Lit. For admission to this course, you would need a Matric
APS score of 28 (30 when you apply with your Grade 11 marks) and a minimum of 5 (60-69%) for English.
Be sure to visit university websites to find out more about the requirements for your chosen field. Here is a link to TUKS:
