(In other words for a programme where Mathematics and Physical Sciences are required, take the score for English, Mathematics, Physical Science and the next best three subjects other than Life Orientation to compare your APS). Results below 40% for any subject do not attract a score.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate your FPS, the APS will be adjusted as described below. Three faculties at UCT adjust the APS when calculating the FPS. For the rest (Commerce, Humanities and Law), the APS equals the FPS.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 13\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>All <a href=\"https:\/\/forms24.co.za\/data\/how-to-apply-to-uct\/\">undergraduate applicants<\/a> who are normally resident, or at school, in South Africa must write NBTs, and all applicants to programmes in Health Sciences must write the NBTs wherever they reside.\u00a0In order to calculate the FPS for the Faculty of Science, double the scores achieved for Mathematics and Physical Sciences. In the Faculties of Engineering &amp; the Built Environment, and Health Sciences, the NBT score forms part of the FPS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In order to calculate the WPS, adjust the FPS by the disadvantage factor applicable to you.
