Can someone calculate my UCAS points please? I'm confused

When I enter my qualifications into the tariff calculation, it says 56, but do I just enter the overall grade or the grades I got in my units, too? If my Tariff points are 56 I can't get into my course that wants 96 points, I'm somewhat panicking now.

You only have one overall qualification that you put in UCAS. The Ext Diploma with Merit is the one you need to input. and when you do that it shows as 96 points (not sure where the 56 comes from). https://www.ucas.com/applying/you-apply/what-and-where-study/entry-requirements/calculate-your-ucas-tariff-points
