⚙️ How UCT Calculates APS

Uses your best 6 subjects
Life Orientation excluded
APS is multiplied by 10

👉 This means your final score looks like:

420 instead of 42

📊 Why UCT Is Different

UCT uses a scaled APS system, which:

Allows finer ranking of applicants
Makes competition more precise
Requires higher performance overall

🎯 Target Scores

400+ → Competitive programs (Engineering, Medicine)
350–399 → Good chance for many degrees
Below 350 → Limited options

💡 Tip

Focus on improving:

Mathematics
English

These are critical for most UCT programs.
