How NWU scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

NWU APS

NWU adds your six best subjects, excluding Life Orientation, on an 8-point scale (90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7 ... 0-29% = 1).

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • NWU says "six best subjects" on one page and lists six subject rows on its calculator; we take your six best.

Checked against: NWU APS calculator (opens the official page)

APS formula

RESOLVED 2026-10-01. NWU’s own APS calculator page shows six subjects on an 8-point scale (90-100% = 8 ... 0-29% = 1) with Life Orientation not counted. The calculator now computes NWU scores. NWU programme coverage is still only two entries.
