At Jeppe we offer Advanced Programme Mathematics as an 8th subject. It is an elite option and will only be available to the top maths students. We have offered Applied Programme Mathematics since 2011. This subject assists learners who are planning to study 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 reulted separately from the NSC. These results might not be included in a learner's AP score depending on the tertiary institution. At Jeppe, AP Maths results are excluded from top 10 and academic colours calculations.
A learner must have an exam average in Core Mathematics above 75% to qualify to take AP Maths.
