How to Calculate UCT Admission Point Score (UCT APS)
A candidate’s admission score at the University of Cape Town will be determined based on the percentage achieved in their National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations, including preliminary and final exams. The NSC score will be equivalent to the percentage obtained in these exams.
To evaluate a candidate’s eligibility for admission, the sum of six subjects (excluding Life Orientation but including English and any relevant required subjects for the program) will be considered. For instance, for a program that requires Mathematics and Physical Sciences, the scores for English, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and the best three scores among the remaining subjects (excluding Life Orientation) will be computed to determine the NSC score for the Admission Point Score (APS).
It is important to note that scores below 40% in any subject will not be assigned a score.
