MYTHCAT IS NOT ON THE “DESIGNATED SUBJECTS” LIST, SO IT DOESN’T COUNT TOWARDS YOUR APS SCORE FOR GETTING INTO UNIVERSITY.NOT TRUE!

Page 10: Why Computer Applications Technology?

IN MANY UNIVERSITIES, “DESIGNATED SUBJECTS” ARE NOT GIVEN PRIORITY IN SCORING OR POINTS ALLOCATION.

That means:CAT COUNTS THE SAME AS MATHS, SCIENCE, HISTORY, BUSINESS etc.. AND IS ACCEPTED IN THE APS CALCULATIONS REGARDLESS OF ANY “DESIGNATED SUBJECTS” LIST.

MYTHCAT IS AN ‘EASY’ SUBJECT FOR STUDENTS WHO CAN’T COPE WITH MATHS AND SCIENCE…NOT TRUE!

Page 14: Why Computer Applications Technology?

CAT EXAMS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS MATHS AND SCIENCE, IN TERMS OF LEVELS OF QUESTIONING AND HIGHER ORDER/LOWER ORDER THINKING RATIOS.

IF IN DOUBT…JUST ASK ANY GRADE 12 CAT

STUDENT!
