Edupstairs APS Score Calculator (South Africa)
Enter your NSC subjects and achievement levels (1–7). This tool will calculate your APS based on your best six subjects and help you see how your score compares to typical university, faculty and programme ranges. Always confirm official APS rules and subject requirements with the university you are applying to.
Step 1: Enter your main NSC subjects
Enter up to six subjects excluding Life Orientation. Use the official NSC level (1–7) as it appears on your statement of results.
Step 2: Life Orientation
Many universities either limit or exclude Life Orientation when calculating APS. Use this section to see the impact of including or excluding Life Orientation in your score.
Step 3: Target faculty & programme (optional)
Choose a faculty and, if you know it, enter the minimum APS for a specific programme. This tool will compare your APS to typical ranges. Remember: each university has its own rules.
