Question about points system.

RockViper · 2003-08-14 18:12:16

Of the 7 subjects I did I got 365 points in total. Are they the points I'll get allocated to me by colleges when they're processing my applications? Or will I get less as I didn't subtract the lowest one? Speaking of which is my lowest subject a D1 in Honours or C2 in Ordinary? Feck i'm in trouble if its the D1.....

They only count your best six subjects/

D1 is far better then an Ordinary C1. I think the C1 is only worth around 20 points?

A1 in Ordinary == C3 in Honours == 60 points.

The D1 is the higher mark, that'll be counted. You total the highest 6 points to get your overall.

C1 Ordinary == 30 points, so your total is 335.
