More details:

At Jeppe we offer Advanced Programme Mathematics as an 8th subject. We have offered Applied Programme Mathematics since 2011. This subject assists learners who are planning to study financial accounting, engineering, medicine and the like.

Advanced Programme Mathematics is managed by the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) and the results obtained by learners who take the subject are resulted separately from the NSC. These results might not be included in a learner's AP score depending on the tertiary institution.
