How does UL calculate APS?

UL uses standard best-6 aps. Your best 6 NSC subjects are converted to APS points using the standard bands: 80-100% = 7, 70-79% = 6, 60-69% = 5, 50-59% = 4, 40-49% = 3, 30-39% = 2, and 0-29% = 1. Life Orientation is excluded from the core APS total. UL keeps the calculation straightforward, but health and science programmes still need the right subject mix.

Does UL include Life Orientation in APS?

No. Life Orientation is excluded from the core APS total.

That makes the calculation straightforward and easy to compare with other standard-scale universities. The real challenge usually comes from the programme you choose, not the formula.

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
