Youhavetomeettheindividualsubjectadmissionrequirementsforthequalification.Inaddition,youalsohavetomeettheminimumAPSscoresusingthemethodthatappliestothequalificationyouareapplyingfor.
METHOD 1: Best of six subjectsThe APS is calculated using the percentage score for the 6 highest scoring subjects including those required subjects such as Mathematics, Physical Science, and English, but excluding Life Orientation and adding up all the raw scores, and dividing by 10.
For example:
SUBJECT PERCENTAGE CALCULATION
English 57% 57
Mathematics 55% 55
Subject3 50% 50
Subject4 54% 54
Subject5 43% 43
Subject6 45% 45
APS score (min) 304 ÷ 10 = 30.4
METHOD 2: Double Maths and Science plus English and the next best subjectThe APS is calculated using the percentage score for the required subjects such as Mathematics, Physical Sciences, English and a 4th highest subject, but excluding Life Orientation. Multiply the marks for Mathematics and Physical Sciences by 2 and add up all the raw scores, then divide by 10. For example:
SUBJECT PERCENTAGE CALCULATION
English 57% 57
Mathematics 55%x2 110
PhysicalScience 50%x2 1000
Subject4 54% 54
APS score (min) 321 ÷ 10 = 32.1
METHOD 3: Double Maths and Accounting, plus English and the 3 next best subjectsThe APS is calculated using the doubling the percentage score for Mathematics and Accounting, and then adding the 4 next best subjects (excluding Life Orientation), then dividing by 10. For example:
SUBJECT PERCENTAGE CALCULATION
English 57% 57
Mathematics 55%x2 110
Accounting 62%x2 124
Subject4 54% 54
Subject5 48% 48
Subject6 65% 65
APS score (min) 458 ÷ 10 = 45.8
CALCULATINGTHEAPSSCORENOTE: Life Orientation cannot be used for any of the calculations.
