Universities may ask for grades: 3A’s or AAB, BBC etc
Others will ask for points
A2: A/Distinction = 120, B = 100, C/Merit = 80, D = 60,
E/Pass = 40 (AS grades = half A2)
200 points can be made up from double merit and an E
If you are doing the Level 2 Business you may need at
least a merit + English or maths to progress to an
Advanced course
