How Many Points Are Needed For Teaching? If you are considering a career in teaching in South Africa, it is important to understand the admission requirements and the minimum APS score needed to gain entry into a teaching qualification. The Admission Point Score (APS) is a system used by most South African universities to assess and compare the academic achievement of applicants. APS takes into account the candidate’s final Grade 12 results and assigns points to each subject. To calculate your APS score, you add up the points you obtained for each subject and divide the total by the number of subjects you took in your final year of high school.
