Calculation of APS for National Senior Certificate (NSC-Deg)
The values allocated to the levels of performance in subjects, i.e. 1-7, are added to calculate the composite Academic Performance Score (APS). Please consult the table on page 17 for information on the values used.
Life Orientation (LO) is not included in the APS calculation for UKZN (no points are allocated for LO). The Academic Performance Score (APS) is calculated by adding the performance ratings of the other six subjects. Mathematics Paper 3 is not a full subject and is not considered for the APS.
Note
Only O-levels or IGSCEs are not acceptable. International applications will not be considered until USAF evaluations have been received.
Note
All school subjects appearing in the table below are approved subjects and are included (and have equal weight) in the calculation of the UKZN APS.
