I was wondering if someone could explain the maximum number of of UCAS point you are allowed to claim. I understand that if I have grade 6 and 8 piano, I can only claim the points for Grade 8. However, if I have grade 7 in another instrument - viola - can I claim the points for this or can I still only claim for the grade 8?

That was [/I]so[I] helpful Ayshah. <_< Now I can tell my piano students studying for 'A' levels exactly how the points system is used. Do you mind just confirming for me, please, that the AB points are not used in deciding an offer. They are used purely in calculating UCAS points at results time. Thanks Steve :D |
