Is 30 A Good APS Score?
Is 30 A Good APS Score? The Admission Point Score (APS) is a system used in South Africa to determine the academic eligibility of prospective students for admission into higher education institutions. The APS is calculated based on a student’s matric results, with each grade achieving a certain point value. An APS score ranges from 1 to 7 for each subject, with a maximum of 42 points.
Many students wonder if an APS score of 30 is good enough to secure admission into their desired program. The answer to this question depends on the specific program and the university’s admission requirements.
In general, an APS score of 30 is considered a decent score, but it may not be enough to gain admission to highly competitive programs.
For example, some programmes may require a minimum APS score of 20 or higher for certain programs, while others may accept students with an APS score of 30 or lower.
It’s important to note that the APS score is just one of the factors that universities consider when evaluating applications. Other factors include extracurricular activities, work experience, and personal statements. These factors can help demonstrate a student’s strengths and potential, even if their APS score is not as high as desired.
