...but if one your universities are asking for 300 ucas points, is that including the points we've already got from AS, or just points that we get from A2?
well they collaborate you're AS into the A2 if it's the same subject, however if you have only done an AS in a subject...that AS grade goes towards it.
unless they specify otherwise, it's A2's and AS levels if you have any on their own.
so say you did Biology, Psychology and Computing, but you only did one year of Computing, and you get AAB.
you're A2 points from Biology and Psychology would be 240 (I think) and then you have like 60 points (maybe?) from your AS computing, so that makes 300 points.

ok, so say right now i've got 160 points [i know, not the best grades ] in order to get into one of my unis i need 300 points...so does that mean i only need to get another 140 points i.e. at least 2 B's?
or did i completely get the wrong end of the stick?!
it works like this for AS an A is 60 points B 50 points and so on (down in 10 for each grade) For A level full (AS adnd A2) it is 120 points for an A 100 for a B and so on...
Therefore if you did 3 A levels and one AS and got BCCc that would be 300 points, its 300 points in any combination but they may say u need a mininum of 2 A levels
If you post your actual AS grades and subjects along with the subjects you're continuing to A2, we'll be able to tell you exactly what grades you need to get - just in case you're still confused.
I'm sure Exeter didn't want to know about my D in Computing when I rang them up during Clearing... I still think I was 10 points short, which is extremely annoying, but eh, that's life.

that would actually be really helpful, and probably easier than figuring it out myself!
Yeah.. sorry - I haven't been back here since last night! But what Rhys said was right, so you have your answer already. Quite often they'll stipulate something like "with a B in Maths and a B in Physics", so you'll have a clearer picture of what you should be getting - but by the looks of it, they don't have any requirements regarding specific subjects and specific grades.
