    If you have the points for your first choice, you get it. You're first choice is your number one preference.

    It depends on how many points you get. If you get 200 points, you'll get your first choice. If you get 195 points, you'll get your second choice.

    You shouldn't concentrate on the points (relatively speaking), but on your genuine order of preference. If you would prefer one over the other, that's the one you should put first, regardless of points. If you get enough points for the higher points course, and have put it first, that's the one you get and the rest become irrelevant.
