APM isn't averaged over a minute time frame. I don't know the exact calculations they use ( and it has been changed a couple of times) but roughly, if you go above 5 actions per second your APM will be shown as 300.

I believe the reason they use APM over APS is because 3.4 APS isn't as meaningful as 204 APM.
