Common tariff targets in Highers grades
Points-based offers cluster around a few standard thresholds. If your offer names one of these totals, here is what it looks like in Scottish qualifications:
| Target | Four Highers | Advanced Higher route |
|---|---|---|
| 96 pointsA-level CCC | BBCC = 96 points | AH C + Highers AB = 100 points |
| 104 pointsA-level BCC | BBBB = 108 points | AH C + Highers AA = 106 points |
| 112 pointsA-level BBC | ABBB = 114 points | AH A + Highers AB = 116 points |
| 120 pointsA-level BBB | AABB = 120 points | AH A + Highers AA = 122 points |
Points computed from the current UCAS Tariff (Higher A = 33, B = 27, C = 21; Advanced Higher A = 56, B = 48, C = 40). National 5s carry no tariff points.
