So if it's 48 does it go up by 12s I assume?
60 - A*
48 - A
36 - B
24 - C
12 - D
That makes sense considering although E is a pass, no uni wants to take a student who got 3 Es at a level.
So like 180 is the most a uni could ask for (or maybe 240 if they want 4 A levels rather than the norm 3).
The old system was better with the rounded numbers, those are easier to add up. But this new system could work. They're all even numbers at least. There isn't any need for them to be such big numbers in the first place.
