How UWC scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

UWC weighted points

UWC weights English and Mathematics most: they score 1, 3, 5 ... 15 from level 1 to 8. Your additional language, Mathematical Literacy and each of your three best other subjects score the level itself (1-8). Life Orientation adds 0-3.

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

What we couldn’t confirm
  • CONFLICT: UWC’s application-information page puts Mathematical Literacy in the same high-points column as Mathematics, but UWC’s own calculator says it "no longer" does and scores it as an ordinary subject. We follow the calculator.
  • CONFLICT (small): for Life Orientation at level 1 (20-29%) UWC’s table says 1 point and its calculator gives 0. We follow the calculator.

UWC counts seven subjects (English, an additional language, Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy, Life Orientation and your three best others) with English and Mathematics weighted most, for a total out of 65. The points total shown is what UWC publishes; its subject-by-subject minimums for this programme could not be read, so check them with UWC.

Weighted points conversion table

RESOLVED except two conflicts. The scoring rule was read from UWC’s own official APS calculator code: English and Mathematics score 1,3,5...15 from level 1 to 8; the additional language, Mathematical Literacy and other subjects score the level (1-8); Life Orientation 0-3; total = English + additional language + Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy + Life Orientation + 3 best others (maximum 65). CONFLICT 1: UWC’s application-information page puts Mathematical Literacy in the same high-points column as Mathematics, but its calculator says it no longer does. We follow the calculator. CONFLICT 2: for Life Orientation at 20-29% the table says 1 point and the calculator gives 0. We follow the calculator.
