Using the Tariff Calculator

Not all qualifications are included in the Tariff, so don't worry if you can't find your qualification in this calculator - make sure you check the entry requirements in our search tool for the courses you're interested in.

Universities and colleges set their own entry requirements and do not have to accept a qualification simply because it is included in the Tariff tables.

Universities and colleges don't have to accept the Tariff value assigned by UCAS either. For example, if a university feels the content of the qualification is not fully relevant for the course you are applying to, they may tell you it's worth fewer points than UCAS has suggested, although most of the time the full Tariff points will be accepted.

The best advice is to check the entry requirements listed in UCAS' search tool, or with the course provider, to find out if your qualifications are accepted.

UCAS Tariff points only apply to Level 3/SCQF Level 6 qualifications, not Level 2 qualifications such as GCSEs. This calculator covers Level 3 UK qualifications regulated by Ofqual, Qualifications in Wales, CCEA and QAA, as well as SCQF Level 6 qualifications accredited by SQA and SCQF.

What is the purpose of the UCAS Tariff?

The UCAS Tariff provides a way for universities and colleges to draw comparisons between the wide range of qualifications they see on their applications. Being able to compare qualifications they are less familiar with against more common ones such as A levels encourages a fairer decision-making process when it comes to making offers.

Some universities and colleges also use UCAS points in their entry requirements and offers, so you may need to know how many points your qualifications are worth.

Please note, the UCAS Tariff calculator is an indicative guide only. The university of college offering the course will have the final say on entry requirements.

What else do I need to know about the UCAS Tariff?

Not all universities and colleges use the Tariff when making offers - many use qualifications and grades instead.

Some universities and colleges limit the qualifications they accept. For example, they may only accept Tariff points from the highest scoring three A levels or Scottish Highers.

Some universities and colleges may exclude qualifications if content is duplicated in other qualifications.

Universities and college generally only count the highest level of achievement. For example, they may not count a BTEC Award if you have achieved the BTEC Certificate in the same subject, or an AS level if you have an A level in the same subject.

Qualifications may change over time. We aim to update the Tariff calculator annually to reflect these changes and to add new qualifications.

The Tariff is based on a finite scale, so it is not possible to get more than a certain number of points for a single award qualification. In some instances, you may see top grades of qualifications getting the same number of points.

There are lots of different BTEC qualifications listed, and not all BTEC qualifications include a D* grade. Speak to your teacher or adviser if you're not sure which BTEC you're studying.

The AS is positioned at 40% - or as close to 40% as possible - of the A level at each grade:

AS grade A is aligned to A level grade B

AS grade C is aligned to A level grade D

AS grade E is below A level grade E

Not all universities and colleges use the Tariff. It's therefore really important to check the entry requirements for the course(s) you're interested in. If you have any questions, talk to the university or college you're applying to, or your teacher/adviser.

How to use this calculator

Search for your qualification by its title or, where available, by its number: This is usually found in qualification registers or on your certificate.

Enter the subject you're studying (optional).

Select your grade from the drop-down list - the Tariff points for this qualification will display automatically next to your grade.

When you've entered all your qualifications, click 'Next'.

Advice to help to you find your qualification

Most qualification titles have been entered in the following format:

Awarding body + Level + Type (Certificate/Diploma etc.) + Subject

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Foundation Diploma in Business

You can search for your qualification by its awarding body (i.e. Pearson), its type (i.e. certificate) or it's subject (i.e. business). All qualifications included in the Tariff Calculator are Level 3/SCQF Level 6. Alternatively, you can search for a qualification by its unique number. Your teacher or your school's exams officer may be able to confirm this. The unique number will not be visible in the calculator below but it can still be entered, following this format:

Three numbers/four numbers/one number or letter

601/7161/3

If you hold two or more qualifications which follow on or have duplicated content, such as a Certificate in Childcare and a Diploma in Childcare, you only receive Tariff points for the highest level achieved (the Diploma) unless your university says otherwise.

How do I calculate points for the IB Career-Related Programme?

There are several components of the Career-Related Programme which attract Tariff Points. You will need to search for these separately in the Tariff calculator and then add your points together to get a final score.

The components of the programme which receive Tariff points are:

IBO Reflective Project

IBO Certificate in Higher Level

IBO Certificate in Standard Level

If you completed a BTEC or AAQ as part of the programme you can also search for this in the Tariff calculator and add these points on to your total.

The tariff calculator below is currently being upgraded to improve performance; therefore, you may experience slow performance. In the meantime, you can access a faster version of the tool here, just make sure you're logged into your UCAS Hub account before using the link https://www.ucas.com/dashboard#/?widget=Tariff

Very useful

Very easy to use, simple layout and nothing hidden. Tap + to add an event, the layout is easy to follow and set event info. Includes some fun features to set a background color and emoji, such as birthday cake to represent a birthdate. I did my whole calendar list of holidays, special days, birthdays of family and anniversaries in no time. Love the countdown and count up for past events, I put in my birthdate and know know to the second how old I am, really cool.
Easily shares with another devices, had same list on iPad and iPhone instantly.
I added the widget, very nice and shows either next two event or more. Nothing complicated to set up. I still gave 5 stars as its almost perfect.
It includes a feature to have event repeat next year, great for like birthdays that occur on same number day of a month each year, but for some holidays it won't be correct as they occur not on a specific number day, but say, 2nd Monday of February and each year that will be a different number day, where the app has no setting for this.
Overall much better than anything else I tried and glad I found this and replaced previous app I've used for a few years.

LOVE THIS APP!! ❤️❤️❤️

At first my mom downloaded this app for birthdays, holidays, etc. Then, I downloaded the app and I'm in love with it! I have not once forgotten a holiday or a family member's birthday! And it's not just for holidays, you can add countdowns for anything! (I have a countdown for when my braces are expected to get off 🤪). For any countdown that you add, you can program it to repeat yearly, so you don't have to keep reentering the info in. It also allows you to organize the countdowns entered. You can have the app organize it from soonest, to furthest, or you can organize it yourself. Whether you want it to be holidays first, then birthdays, or birthdays then holidays.

Also, when you download the app, it will give you the option to have VIP subscription. I highly recommend purchasing that as well. It is a $4 fee, and you only have to pay once. If you have an Apple device, and you get the iOS 14 update, then you can unlock larger widgets on your phone, only with the VIP subscription.

I 100% recommend this app!!!

It looks nice but...

It won't automatically update the number of days left in the widget. It only updates once I click on the widget to open the app which completely defeats the purpose. I just needed it to display the correct number of days left when I swipe left..... like literally that's the only reason I bought this app and it doesn't do the thing. Wish I hadn't bought it.

Edit: it started working right after the latest iOS update BUT it would be nice to have some other way to report a problem with the app within the app itself or some way to contact the app developers aside from writing a review. Either way I didn't think they deserved a bad rating now that it's working properly.

About the author
Philippa Logan read Natural Sciences (specialising in Chemistry) at Newnham College, Cambridge.

Hermione Granger was essentially doing science A-levels.

Except in her case, they were NEWTs (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests), and instead of doing the conventional Physics, Chemistry and Biology, she was taking more intriguing subjects: Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Charms, Defence against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Potions and Transfiguration, to be precise.
And, being Hermione, she did very well. Meanwhile, Harry and Ron didn't take NEWTs at all - partly because they were busy looking for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes and thus saving the world. Fair enough.

So, what was the secret of Hermione's success? Native intelligence? Yes, partly, because she was clearly a bright student and eager to learn. But she also hinted at a revision technique, which included a revision timetable. It has to be said that there is not much evidence for Harry's and Ron's revision technique - merely a lack of it.
And here we are getting relevant. If Hermione Granger can do it, so can you.
Revision literally means 're-vision' - looking at something again. Which means that you must have seen it in the first place.

Spider diagrams

There are lots of different ways of writing out your notes. Obviously, you can just copy them out, in shortened form, from your exercise book - perhaps highlighting the important parts, or different topics, in different colours.
But have you come across spider diagrams? These can be a handy way of forcing you to get something straight in your mind before you write it down on the page. Here is an example:

You put the topic in the centre of your page. Let's say you're doing Physics, and you're looking at Mechanics.
So, write down Mechanics in the centre of your page. Now, what are the sub-topics here? To make it easier, you can go by the chapter headings in your text book. Kinematics, accelerated motion, dynamics, vectors, forces, work and power. Write these sub-topics like the legs of spider (let's not take the analogy too far - there probably won't be eight legs here). Then under each sub-topic, write down the most important points, and the things you need especially to remember. These might be equations, or definitions, or little sketches about how to work out problems.
With a spider diagram, you can get everything you need to know about a whole topic on a single sheet of paper. It's very satisfying. Well, not everything you need to know, of course, but a jolly good summary. Once again, if you take the time to do this properly, it forces you to make sure you understand each mini topic as you write it down.

Understand before you revise

Make sure you understand something before you start revising it, otherwise you risk learning something that's not correct. The best way to do this is to understand new information as you go along. You'll know from your homework whether you have got to grips with a subject. If you haven't, then ask the teacher, or a friend who does understand the subject, or go to a science clinic, if your school offers one - and get clear in your mind what you haven't been able to understand.
Revision need not be daunting. Some find it boring and tedious, and resent having to set aside long swathes of time at a desk when there are more exciting things to be doing. One of the keys to effective revision is to make sure that you have enough breaks from revision, to make sure that you do get to do those exciting things. And by 'exciting', I'm only talking in relative terms: exciting in comparison with revision, which might mean a chat with your friends, a cup of tea, or a few minutes harassing the dog, and not necessarily going off to fight the demons of the spirit world.

Draw up a timetable

So, you know you are going to have breaks during your revision. Now think about writing a revision timetable. It doesn't work for everyone, but it can be helpful. At least it can help you keep track of how much revision you have done, which can be a confidence-booster.
Let's say the holidays are coming up. Your school may well have suggested a number of hours of revision that you should aim for. Some schools suggest a ridiculously high figure - but revision is not a 9-5 job, and it's counter-productive to aim to do too much.
Think about what's possible for you. Think what's realistic, without being a slave-driver or overly lenient. Could you manage six hours a day? No? Four or five hours? If you start at 10 o'clock, you can do two and a half hours before lunch, and then two and a half hours in either the afternoon or the evening - leaving the rest of the evening or the afternoon free.
And if you don't normally get out of bed that early in the holidays, try and make a point of doing so. Have a lie in for the first day or two, but then let the discipline kick in, and make sure you get up in time to get down to work at 10am. Write it on your timetable, to help you stick to it.
If you've decided that it will help to have a revision timetable, it's worth spending some time drawing it up. This may seem an awful faff, but it IS worth spending time up front to work out what you are going to be doing, and how much, and when.

Sample revision timetable

Above is an example of a timetable for five hours of revision a day. Make sure you have either one or two days completely free each week - or one day that you definitely always have off, and the other day as 'spare', in case you have to rearrange some of your revision sessions from another day. Put like this, it doesn't look too bad, does it? And yet it's 25 hours of revision time a week.
Now, write down your subjects on another piece of paper: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or whatever they are. It's best if you also write down a list of topics within each subject: Electromagnetism, Waves; Kinetics, Organic Chemistry; Genetics, Photosynthesis, and so on. It's tempting to start revising the subjects you find the easiest, but think about the subjects and topics you find hardest. What do you need to spend most time on?
Let's say you've got 25 revision slots in a week (five hours a day, for five days a week). And let's say you are doing three A-levels. All things being equal, that would be 8 or 9 slots each a week. But probably one of your subjects needs more work than the others; no doubt there are some topic areas that you know need more work. Fill them in first, and give them more weight in your timetable.
So, how's that looking? It may be nowhere near the 50 or 60 hours that your school suggest you do, but, the way you've drawn it up, it should be 25 hours of GOOD revision time a week. Just because some people spend longer at a desk with a book or computer screen in front of them doesn't mean they are spending longer revising, after all. Making the most of revision time is what it's all about.
Now, all this about a timetable isn't specific to the sciences - you can apply it to any sort of revision. Which is all very helpful, because you might be doing a mixture of arts and sciences.

Make notes - but not too many

Some people can't see the point of making notes. They've written everything down in their exercise books in the first place - why write it out again? One reason is to get something into your head: the very act of writing something down helps hammer it into your brain.
Another good reason for making notes is that, if you are making CONCISE notes, you have to understand what you are taking notes on. Again, this is worth doing. The more concise your notes are, the less you have to read when you go through them again.

Decorate your walls

Flashcards can come in handy for revision as well. Cut up a piece of stiff paper or thin card into bite-size chunks (you can get about 18 pieces out of an A4 sheet of paper). Now you can write down anything you need to remember particularly: this might be equations, or short sentences, or graphs, or diagrams. Read through them and test yourself. Stick the most important ones on your walls, so you see them every time you are in your room. It might even get to the point where you associate, say, your cupboard door with Newton's First Law of Motion. That might seem very sad - but it's helpful, all the same.
Or put up a coloured representation of the Periodic Table on your wall. Again, how sad - but if it helps you learn the elements in Group 1 or Period 3, then that's great.

Practicals

Obviously, you can't revise for practical exams at home. But you can look over common scientific methods and techniques from your practicals notebook. You want to be in a position where you won't be surprised by what you are asked to do in the practical exam.

Do practice papers

You might not think this is a tip, because it's so obvious, but you can't beat doing past papers for practice. These should be available from your school or wherever you are; they are certainly available online. And get hold of the answer papers as well.
But don't cheat when you are doing them. Sit them in exam conditions; make sure you spend the exact length of time that the actual exam will be. Then have a short break, and mark the paper yourself, using the answer sheet.
Here it's an advantage that you are doing sciences: the answers will clearly be right or wrong, and there's no room for subjective opinion as there is in, say, history or English literature. Where you've got an answer right - well done. Where it's wrong, have a look at the answer paper, and see if you can work out where you went wrong. If you can, remember this for next time. If you can't, try and find out how to get the right answer. You may need to ask a teacher or a friend. The same sort of questions crop up year after year, so it really is worth knowing how to answer them.

Mark scheme

Now, the mark scheme is a REALLY annoying aspect of how A-level exams are marked - but you have to be aware of the exact wording that the examiners are looking for. This particularly applies to, say, descriptions of flame tests or the colour of precipitates in chemistry - and of course for many definitions. Your teacher will probably have indicated where particular wording is needed: don't just think it's all right to give an approximate wording, because you know what you mean: in certain cases, you have to give the EXACT wording. There's no other way round this but to play ball and learn the wording off by heart.

Regular testing

If there's a tame person in your household whom you can call on to test you, that's great. It doesn't mean they have to concentrate on you entirely - testing can be done while you are both clearing the table, emptying the dishwasher, cooking the supper or walking the dog. If there's no such person available, then test yourself, by saying things over to yourself. Talking to yourself isn't always a sign of madness: it can be the sign of a good reviser too.

Extra reading

Exams are made to test what you have learnt. But - although it's not actually revision - a bit of reading round the subject can work wonders. Try and do a little bit of extra reading now and then, even if it's only one or two Science news stories on the BBC website. It may even help illustrate some topic that you have been learning about. If you have the chance to bring in something relevant to an exam question, it will help you stand out from the crowd.

Don't compare.com

Everybody does it - but it's not always helpful to compare yourself with what your friends are doing. So, Hermione has spent 60 hours revising Chemistry in the holidays, and you've only spent 30? But maybe your 30 are as good as Hermione's 60. If you apply good revision techniques and self-discipline, then 30 can be just as good as 60.
And not an Auto-Answer Quill in sight.

This article was last updated on 12 October 2023. It's really easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do for your National or GCSE exams, so staying organised by planning your time and creating a revision timetable is a good idea. It can be really beneficial when it comes to keeping on top of your workload in the run up to exam season. Our Mind Set coaches have got some great advice for how they made the most of their time when planning their revision in the run up to their exams. Watch this short video and then take a look at their revision tips below.

Video Transcript Video Transcript

Jacintha Make yourself a revision timetable. It's really going to help you stay on track.

Rohan Having a personalised timetable shows what you need to work on and what you need to improve on. You could have like someone else's or copy your friends', but they might do their revision techniques in a different way compared to you and having one that's personalised to you is going to be the one that you're going to stick to.

Baxter It help me to break down my subjects and then do a different topic each day. Maybe for a day I'd some parts of English, and then the next day, do maths. Focus on one thing instead of just focussing on all other stuff.

Jacintha It's so important that your revision timetable is personalised to you. For example, I like Fridays days off, so I'm going to make sure I schedule in a rest day on Friday, and I won't be doing any revision after the school day ends.

Shay My teachers in school were really helpful with planning my revision. I think it's really important to go and ask them if you have any questions about your revision or revision timetable.

Iain What I found the best thing to do was to work on your hardest subjects last, because that meant that you do the easiest ones first and you're in a good headspace and you believe that you can actually get through the day

Lauren When we got our actual timetable for our exams, I then revised in the order what the exams would be. So I think my first exam was like RE so I revised RE first and then I did like biology and stuff and just followed it chronologically.

Nung At first I did just focus on my favourite subjects, but you do need to revise equally on every single subject.

Niall I like revising in the morning and then you've got the night to relax. I would recommend doing what's right for you and what you feel kind of comfortable with, what gets you in the zone.

Iain I think one of the worst things you can do is compare yourself to others.

Joe It doesn't matter what other people do. Focus on yourself. If you take advice from someone else and you think "oh they know everything", they don't. They're in the same boat as you.

Rohan When I initially started revising, I would do like four hour chunks of like one subject. It didn't help at all because I would procrastinate, because I never dedicated a break to myself. After that, I realised I need to actually find a different technique. Having like 20 minutes of work and then a five minute break. Small chunks, but they sort of added up to a bigger amount of work that I was doing at the end of the day. It was very helpful in that aspect.

Shay I usually revise for 30 minutes at a time and then took a five minute break. Even if that was just to grab a cup of tea or go outside or just clear your head for five minutes. Something different might work for you and different timings might work better for different subjects.

Niall I crossed off my exams as I was doing them because it meant I could see how much I had ahead of me, and it meant I could keep steady through my exams.

Rohan We got given an exam timetable, which I put on my wall and I'd highlight every subject, you know, after I was finished and it felt so good coming towards the end. That last one is just so satisfying, crossing it off because you're like "finished. I'm done. No school. No more vision. I'm done!"

Focus on yourself

Using a revision timetable helped Baxter to break down his subjects and do a different topic each day. He found that focusing on one topic at a time rather than multiple subjects at once helped him better manage his time. But it's important that your revision timetable is personalised to you. Jacintha liked Fridays off, so made sure to schedule in a rest day, so didn't do any revision after school on a Friday. Joe says that everyone is in the same boat as you when it comes to revision and that it's best to focus on yourself and not to pay attention to what other people are doing.

Choose a time of day

Niall recommends revising in a way that feels right for you and makes you feel comfortable. He says that he likes revising in the morning so that he can relax in the evening. Your timetable can be tailored to meet your needs. When Lauren got her exam timetable she made sure that she revised in the order of when her exams were. Nung focused on her favourite subjects at first, but she says that you do need to make sure that you revise equally on every single subject. Iain applied a similar approach - he found the best thing to do was to work on his hardest subjects last. That meant he did the easiest ones first and was in a good headspace.

Chunking your time to revise

How long to allocate for each revision session is another common conundrum, Rohan would do four hour chunks of one subject, but it didn't help him at all because he would procrastinate. He found that doing twenty minutes of work and then having a five minute break suited him better. Shay found doing smaller chunks of revision worked well, "I usually revised for 30 minutes at a time and then took a five minute break" he says, but he admits "something different might work for you, and different timings might work better for different subjects."

Taking breaks when studying can really help you remember more.

It's a good idea to create a revision timetable to help you make the most of your time and to ensure you've scheduled time for rest and play as well as for homework and revision. Everyone's timetable will be different, but we've created an example to give you some inspiration, and a blank template that you can use as the basis of your own. You can thank us later!

You should always tell someone about the things you're worried about. You can tell a friend, parent, guardian, teacher or another trusted adult. If you're struggling with your mental health, going to your GP can be a good place to start to find help. Your GP can let you know what support is available to you, suggest different types of treatment and offer regular check-ups to see how you're doing.

If you're in need of in-the-moment support you can contact Childline, where you can speak to a counsellor. Their lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Learning objective/- It helps me and other people recap on what we have done, for example a learning objective/task could be ' whats a newtonmeter?' This would make ponder in search for the answer or immediately knew so in my opinion this is a great way to enhance learning . Knowledge organisers/- This gives us what we would do over the years' it gives as an idea of it which I think is very helpful. challenges/- I love the challenges because it makes me want to risk it and try it out its a perfect way to try and do more work.
