Standard Grade UCAS Points
As well as looking at your grades and reading your personal statement universities may also use the UCAS points system to help them choose between students who have qualifications in different post-GCSE qualifications – for example a student with “A” Levels and a student with Scottish Highers.
Here are the standard grade UCAS points tariff tables for “A” Levels, BTEC Nationals (NQF), and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Certificate and IB Diploma – if you don’t see your qualification listed you can view the full UCAS points tariff table here:
