Calculate your Admission Point Score for SA Universities.
About This Tool
The APS Calculator helps South African students calculate their Admission Point Score (APS) for university applications.
This score determines whether you qualify for specific courses or institutions. We support standard points, university-specific scoring (like Stellenbosch percentages), and Wits bonus points.
How It Works
Select your target university, enter your subject percentages, and the calculator converts them into APS points based on the institution's official guidelines.
Example
- Mathematics: 75% → 6 points
- English: 80% → 7 points
- Life Sciences: 70% → 6 points
- Total APS Score: 19 points
