How to convert my qualifications to UCAS points

Hejsan,

Okay, you guys should know I guess. Apparently I'm dumb and can't convert my exam results to UCAS points. Won't bother you with a long story, so am I right in assuming that 90+% of your work is an A, 70+% is a B, 50+% - C (the way they count it in my country)?

We have a ridiculously inadequate system over here with hard examinations and papers asking things you've never studied.

So I hope not. =]

I don't quite understand what you are wanting to convert? If they are A-Levels, but I took a guess...

According to Wikipedia, 80% is an A grade, 70% is a B grade, 60% is a C grade, 50% is a D grade and 40% is an E grade; anything lower is unclassified (U).

Once you know this, you can work out your points. A-grade at A-level is worth 120 points, while a B is worth 100, a C is worth 80, a D is 60, and an E is 40.

Hope this helps!
