Frequently Asked Questions
What are UCAS tariff points?
UCAS tariff points are a way of converting different qualifications (A-Levels, BTECs, etc.) into a single numerical score. This helps universities compare applicants with different qualification combinations.
Do all universities use UCAS points?
No. Many universities (especially Russell Group) specify exact grades required (e.g., "ABB at A-Level") rather than tariff points. Always check the specific entry requirements for each course you're applying to.
Can I combine different qualifications?
Yes! You can combine A-Levels, BTECs, T Levels, EPQ, and many other qualifications. However, check that your combination is accepted by your chosen universities — some courses require specific subjects or qualification types.
What's the maximum UCAS points I can get?
Three A*s at A-Level = 168 points. However, there's no absolute maximum as you can add additional qualifications like an EPQ (+28 for A*) or AS-Levels.
