How does Fort Hare calculate APS?
Fort Hare uses best-7 aps with capped lo. UFH works from 7 subjects instead of the usual best 6. Life Orientation is included, but the LO contribution is capped below a full main-subject value. Because LO is capped, a very strong LO result helps, but not as much as a major academic subject.
Does Fort Hare include Life Orientation in APS?
