University-specific APS calculations
Other calculators give one generic APS score. We don't.
26 universities
Individual calculations for every South African public university.
9+ systems
From UCT's 800 point max to Wits' 54 point scale.
100% university specific
Based on each university's official APS calculation method.
Why this matters: You might score 42/42 at UP but only 450/800 at UCT with the same matric results. Our calculator shows where you actually qualify, so you don't waste application fees on universities where your score doesn't meet requirements.

APS stands for Admission Point Score. It is a number universities use to assess your matric results for admission. Your subject percentages are converted into points, and the total helps determine which degrees, diplomas or certificates you can apply for. Each university can calculate APS differently, so your score at Wits can differ from your score at UCT.
Important Disclaimer
This APS calculator is for information only. We aim to be accurate based on public university requirements, but admission decisions are made by each university and may consider factors beyond APS scores.
We do not guarantee admission based on our calculations. Requirements may change, and universities may consider additional criteria such as:
- Portfolio submissions, interviews, or entrance tests
- Specific subject requirements and combinations
- Language proficiency requirements
- Availability of spaces in programs
Always verify admission requirements directly with the universities you're applying to. Use this tool as a starting point, not a definitive guide for applications.
