how does AS work towards the UCAS/UNI conditional offers?

AS points- 40

if the uni says "300 points from three GCE A levels" then can I use the points achieved at AS for one subject and add it to the other three?

also, if they say conditional offer ABB then they definately dont mean points right?

A2 ucas points :
A* - 120
A - 100
B - 80
C - 60
D - 40
E -20

As ucas points :
A-50
B-40
C-30
D-20
E-10

Your As points do count towards your ucas ( if you haven't done the A2 in that subject)
e.g if you have done As maths got an A grade then got a B grade at A2 maths then you would get 80 points for that, not 130 (50 + 80).
Offers like ABB ask for A2 grades of ABB nothing to do with points

thanks for the above!

I know this is not the same/predictable. but in clearing does the course requirements vary i.e. do some ask for grades (BBB) and some ask for points 280?

also, i thought A2 B was worth 100 ucas points? has it changed?

it depends on the university; some go by points and others go by grades - the same as when applying generally! the majority seem to go by grades from what I've seen though, but don't worry about what they ask for; you'll need the equivalent of grades or points to get in so how it's offered doesn't make a difference

A2 ucas points :
A* - 140
A - 120
B - 100

As ucas points :

B-50
C-40
D-30
E-20

Hi there,

Do AS core subjects such as financial studies count towards university UCAS tarrifs.

As I got a B grade for finance so would that be 50 UCAS?

Thanks

If they give specific grade conditions then UCAS points become irrelevant with regards to meeting your offer. However one of my offers was ABB OR BBB with AS grade B in another subject so you should be aware of some unis doing this

As long as it is a Proper As level, I haven't heard of it personally, but if it is something like, what my college make everyone who was doing maths take, FAMS which isn't an A-level just some weird qualification, an A was worth 20 points.

this should help....

ifs School of Finance (up to and including 2011 admissions to HE)

Grade Tariff points
Certificate in Financial Studies* Diploma in Financial Studies UCAS Points
A A 60
B B 50
C C 40
D D 30
E E 20
*Completion of both qualifications will result in a maximum of 120 UCAS Tariff points.

This is straight from the ucas website...so your B is worth 50 Points
