Your APS is not one number. Calculate it the way each university actually does.
South African universities each score your matric differently - some use the 1-7 APS, others a percentage aggregate or a per-faculty points score. aps.guide implements each institution's own published method and cites the source, so you see the real number and exactly how it was reached.
Calculate your APS for your university
No signup neededTPT percentage aggregate, not a points score.
Faculty Points Score from raw percentages, per faculty.
Best 6 subjects on the 1-7 scale, out of 42.
Best 6 subjects on a 1-8 scale, out of 48.
Best 6 subjects on the 1-7 scale, out of 42.
Best 7 incl Life Orientation, with English/Maths bonus.
Why one calculator can't fit every university
The standard Admission Point Score takes your best six subjects (Life Orientation excluded) and sums them on the Department of Basic Education's 1-7 scale, for a maximum of 42. UP and UJ use this.
But UKZN scores on a 1-8 scale, Stellenbosch uses a percentage aggregate called the TPT, Wits adds bonus points for English and Maths over its best seven, and UCT abandons points entirely for a per-faculty Faculty Points Score built from raw percentages.
Use the wrong method and your "APS" is meaningless for that university. That is the whole point of aps.guide: the right method, every time, with the source shown.
