UCAS Points Calculator

Enter each qualification and grade. We apply the Advanced Higher replacement rule automatically — so Higher Maths + Advanced Higher Maths in the same subject counts only the better grade.

Tip: add the same subject at both Higher and Advanced Higher to see the replacement rule apply automatically.

Based on 3-subject A-Level totals. Scottish students often take more subjects — total points still count, but this comparison assumes the standard English load.
