How does UMP calculate APS?

UMP uses best-7 aps with reduced lo. UMP works from 7 subjects instead of a simple best-6 total. Life Orientation is included, but its final contribution is reduced rather than counted at full value. Because the LO score is reduced, your academic subjects still carry most of the final APS weight.

Does UMP include Life Orientation in APS?

Partially. Life Orientation is included, but its final contribution is reduced rather than counted at full value.
