Frequently asked questions
How are UCAS Tariff points calculated?↓
Each A-Level grade is worth a fixed number of UCAS Tariff points: A* = 56, A = 48, B = 40, C = 32, D = 24, E = 16. Add up the points for each subject to get your total.
Can I use this calculator with predicted grades?↓
Yes — the calculator works the same way whether you're entering predicted grades before results day or actual grades after. Just be aware that university offers are usually based on actual grades unless otherwise stated.
Does this cover BTEC or IB qualifications?↓
No — this calculator covers A-Level grades only. BTEC and International Baccalaureate use different UCAS Tariff tables with their own point values.
What can I do after calculating my points?↓
You can chat with Applaa's AI advisor about your results — it discusses which areas to focus on if you're resitting, and gives real researched career and salary guidance for both university and apprenticeship routes, based on whatever career interests you.
