Multiply your English percentage by 2, then add your best remaining subjects (excluding Life Orientation). Divide the total by 10.

Example 1:

Subject%Calculation
English5757×2 = 114
Subject 155÷10 = 5.5
Subject 254÷10 = 5.4
Subject 348÷10 = 4.8
Subject 465÷10 = 6.5
Total APS: (114+55+54+48+65) ÷ 10 = 34  

Example 2:

Subject%Calculation
English4040×2 = 80
Accounting4141×2 = 82
Subject 150÷10 = 5
Subject 248÷10 = 4.8
Total APS: (80+82+50+48) ÷ 10 = 26
