How To Calculate UL APS

To calculate your APS for UL admission, you will have to add your percentage in your six best subjects. This excludes Life orientation. Before any applicants can be considered for admission to UL, he/she must meet up with the minimum APS or fall within the testing band. For each matric subject, you write an exam in, you get points for it. Though the point you get for each matric subject depends on your score in the subject. The totality of all the points in the six subjects is your APS points.

Applicants are advised to get high marks to push their APS higher so that they can have more chance of getting admission. Also, some programmes might require you to submit other requirements before you can be considered for admission.
