Calculating Admissions Points Score (APS)<\/h3>\nThe percentages achieved in National Senior Certificate examinations (preliminary and final examinations) will be allocated an admission score equal to that percentage.<\/p>\n
The sum of 6 subjects, excluding Life Orientation, but including English and any required subject(s) for the relevant programme, is considered when deciding on admission. For example, for a given programme where Maths and Physical Sciences are required, we will take scores for English, Maths, Physical Sciences and the next best 3 subjects other than Life Orientation to compute the NSC score towards the APS.<\/p>\n
Results below 40% for any subject do not attract a score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
