UCAS points calculator (UCAS Tariff)

If you take both the AS and the full A level in the same subject, usually only the A level counts.

So an A at Advanced Higher is worth the same as an A* at A level (56 points).

• A*AB at A level: $56 + 48 + 40 = 144$ points.
• AAB plus a B in the EPQ: $48 + 48 + 40 + 20 = 156$ points.
• Highers: an A Higher and a B Advanced Higher: $33 + 48 = 81$ points.

A course might ask for 120 UCAS points, which you could meet with BBB at A level ($40 \times 3$) or with ABC. Some courses add conditions, such as a minimum grade in a particular subject, or count only your best three A levels. Many universities, especially the most selective, make offers in grades instead (for example AAA), and some don't count AS levels or the EPQ in the total. Read each course's entry requirements carefully.

BTECs, the International Baccalaureate, T Levels, Access to HE diplomas and many other qualifications also carry Tariff points, worked out from their size and grade. For those, use UCAS's own Tariff calculator or Tariff tables, linked below. Students with qualifications from outside the UK usually apply with their grades, which universities assess themselves.
