The APS is a crucial metric used by universities to decide a student\u2019s eligibility for higher education programmes. It shows how well you have performed academically and helps decide if you qualify for university or college. It turns your grades into a single number, making it simpler for schools to see if you are ready for further studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the South African education system, the APS plays a crucial role by providing a clear measure of academic success. Therefore, if you have wondered what your APS score is or how to calculate your APS score, our article will discuss everything you need to know about APS scores. We will walk you through the steps to calculate the APS score, the essential subjects contributing to the APS score and the APS score requirements for various courses.&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e6b527850d3\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e6b527850d3\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#What_Does_APS_Score_Stand_For\" >What Does APS Score Stand For?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#Understanding_The_Essential_Steps\" >Understanding The Essential Steps<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#Subjects_Contributing_to_APS_Score\" >Subjects Contributing to APS Score<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#What_is_the_APS_Score_Calculator\" >What is the APS Score Calculator?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#How_to_Use_APS_Score_Calculators_Effectively\" >How to Use APS Score Calculators Effectively?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#APS_Score_and_Course_Eligibility\" >APS Score and Course Eligibility<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#Explore_Our_Other_Programmes\" >Explore Our Other Programmes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/how-to-calculate-aps-score\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_APS_Score_Stand_For\"><\/span>What Does APS Score Stand For?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>APS (Admission Point Score) is a method used to decide admission to higher education institutions. In South Africa, universities and colleges often require an APS score for admission. It is sometimes listed as an entry requirement on application forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each course has a specific APS minimum requirement that you must meet. However, it is important to note that each South African university calculates the APS score differently. Moreover, each institution has unique prerequisites and admission requirements.\u00a0 Hence, before enrolling in an undergraduate programme, you must ensure you meet the APS scores required by both the university and the specific course you want to apply for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the APS score is very important for several reasons, as given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It helps decide if you will be considered for university admission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the first thing most universities check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A higher APS score increases your chances of getting into university.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It guides them on what their options are after school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/lp\/bachelor-of-laws?utm_source=llb_blog&amp;utm_medium=llb_banner&amp;utm_campaign=study_llb_online&amp;utm_content=how-to-calculate-aps-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-1024x536.webp\" alt=\"Study LLB Online in South Africa\" class=\"wp-image-186681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-1024x536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-80x42.webp 80w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11-150x79.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/LLB-2-webp-11.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_The_Essential_Steps\"><\/span>Understanding The Essential Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate your APS, you need to understand a few key points. Your actual marks in each subject range from 0 to 100%. Each mark is then converted into a point score that ranges from 1 to 7, with 7 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. For example, if you score 55% in Physics, the point score for that mark is 4. However, to get your total APS, you add the points of your six Matric subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table given below will help you understand how the point values are assigned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Percentage Obtained in Matric Exam<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>APS (Admission Point Score)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80% \u2013 100%<\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>70 \u2013 79%<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>60 \u2013 69%<\/td><td>5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50 \u2013 59%<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>40 \u2013 49%<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>30 \u2013 39%<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>0 \u2013 29%<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/lp\/regenesys-online-application?utm_source=online_application_blog&amp;utm_medium=online_application_banner&amp;utm_campaign=apply_2026_intake&amp;utm_content=how-to-calculate-aps-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21.webp\" alt=\"ready to apply for admissions 2026 Intake \" class=\"wp-image-187617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21.webp 794w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21-80x42.webp 80w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADMISSION-OPEN-FOR-APPLICATION-3-21-150x79.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Calculate APS Score?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When students understand the APS scores for each percentage tier, it becomes easier to calculate the overall matric score.
