How to Calculate Your Admission Point AP Score at UFS

It is important that you thoroughly study the admission requirements of the programmes you are interested in. The UFS calculates your AP score based on the NSC achievement scale. An AP score consisting of seven levels is used. Points will be awarded for six academic subjects (note: no points will be awarded for achievement levels lower than 30%). One point is awarded for Life Orientation from achievement level 5 (60%) or higher when calculating your AP score for admission purposes.

NSC Level	UFS AP
7 (90%–100%)	8
7 (80%–89%)	7
6 (70%–79%)	6
5 (60%–69%)	5
4 (50%–59%)	4
3 (40%–49%)	3
2 (30%–39%)	2
1 (0%–29%)	–
To calculate your AP, you can use the following example:
For five (5) academic subjects, you must obtain a level 5 (60%)	5 x 5 = 25
For one (1) further academic subject, you must obtain a level 4 (50%)	1 x 4 = 4
For Life Orientation, a level of 5 (60%) or higher to score 1 point	1 x 1 = 1
