About StudyMzansi
StudyMzansi helps with the maths of studying: how much your assignments count towards your final mark, what you need in the exam to pass, and whether your money will last the term.
Admission points (APS)
Each university works out admission points its own way, and the rules change from year to year. We only add an APS calculator for a university once its method has been checked against that university’s own published admission requirements, for a named year. Until then, check the university’s website or prospectus.
Your marks are private
Everything is worked out in your browser. Nothing you type is stored or sent.
These tools give estimates. Your institution’s own rules always decide your marks.
Where to start
- Before you study. The university cost planner shows the total cost of a degree and the funding gap, and the student accommodation budget compares places to live.
- While you study. The student budget planner keeps the month in order, and the study timetable planner and exam countdown help with time.
- Marks and averages. Use the grade calculator, the weighted average calculator, the subject average calculator, the final mark calculator and the required exam mark calculator.
- Progress. The academic progress tracker counts credits and years left.
- After you graduate. The student loan repayment calculator and the graduate salary calculator turn an offer and a loan into monthly numbers.
Institution rules decide your marks
Pass marks, rounding, supplementary exams and admission points differ between universities and colleges. These tools do the arithmetic from the numbers you give them, but your institution's own rules always decide your official marks. Where a tool needs institution data we do not have, it asks you to enter it.
Your records stay private
Marks, modules and dates are not saved or sent anywhere. They live on the page until you close it, so print or save anything you want to keep.
