ucas points?

right, so what i apply to unis which use ucas points can i use all of my poits or only some of them?

predictions & already achieved grades:
A2 - biology predicted C
A2 - chemistry predicted D (but hoping for c :wink: )
A2 - product design predicted B
A2 - geography predicted B

and also during year 11 i did cope level 3 which is 70 ucas points
and "science" AS which was dreadful and got an E :frown:

so all in all, i should get 430 ucas points

so my question, will ucas only take say 3 a levels and cope as my total or all of them?

thankyou

Ucas will take them all, but a lot of unis say that your points offer must be met through a certain amount of A-levels. It'll be in their T&Cs of offers on website/prospectus. Any other points should be entered as qualifications on your ucas application, but it will just act as padding usually.

Hmm well it's not too clear on their website. From this page

It looks like they'll probably want at least 120 of your points to come from three A-levels, but to be absolutely certain it's best to email them and ask. Whether the points must come only from A-levels and COPE or other qualifications are accepted. Mention your course as well since it will differ.
