APS Calculator

Work out your standard Admission Point Score, then check exactly what your chosen university and degree actually require.

Enter your subjects and matric percentages — Life Orientation is automatically excluded, and we use your best 6 subjects.

Enter at least 6 subjects with a percentage to calculate.

This calculates the common/standard APS scale used as a general estimate — it is not any specific university's own official formula. Real formulas genuinely differ: for example, Wits weights English and Mathematics with bonus points, while UCT sums raw percentages rather than converting them to points at all. Always check your actual score and what it qualifies you for directly on your chosen university's own page below.

Each link goes to that university's own official admissions information — the only place with their real, current requirements.
