How do people have high UCAS Tariffs?

I'e seen people with 615 ucas points, how?

What could I do to get a very high ucas tariff?

Loads of subjects and random extra things like music grades got me 1050 UCAS points lol.

The tip is to pick lots of subjects you are good at that are closely linked - e.g. if you are good at maths, then doing Maths, Further Maths and Physics is a lot less work than doing say French, History and Maths since the first combination re-uses a lot of core skills and knowledge whereas the second combination includes very unrelated subjects with little cross-over. Admittedly this is a lot easier to do in the sciences than in essay based subjects, since essay based subjects tend to involve a fair amount of coursework throughout the year.

Also, taking extra random easy subjects like General Studies and Critical Thinking where you are basically guaranteed a good grade just for showing up to the exam, but hardly have to any work all year. Although most universities won't count these grades when looking at your application so I wouldn't rely on this method...

how do you do extra subjects? i just do chem, psychology, geog maths and epq (and bio AS and arabic-As/A-level)

Under the old tariff method an A* at A level was 140 tariff points. So A*A*A*A* would bring you to 560 - add in an AS level or an EPQ or music qualifications etc etc and it wasn't unknown to get up to 600+points.

Under the new tariff A*A*A*A* would only amount to 224 points.

ahh so does that mean that it will be harder/ less likely to get 1000+ UCAS Tariffs?

To get 1000+ in old tariff you needed 7 A* at A level

To get 1000+ in new tariff you would need 18 A* at A level
