UWC APS Calculation Method

UWC converts NSC percentages to weighted admission points. English and Mathematics use a higher points column; all other subjects (including Mathematical Literacy) use the standard column; Life Orientation is included with a lower maximum.

UWC weighted points (from prospectus)

%	English	Mathematics	Life Orientation	Other subjects
90–100%	15	15	3	8
80–89%	13	13	3	7
70–79%	11	11	2	6
60–69%	9	9	2	5
50–59%	7	7	2	4
40–49%	5	5	1	3
30–39%	3	3	1	2
20–29%	1	1	1	1
<20%	0	0	0	0

English (Home Language or First Additional Language) must be at least 50% for general admission; weighted English points apply when English is selected
Mathematical Literacy is scored using the “other subjects” column, not the Mathematics column
