The values on this page are reproduced from the UCAS Tariff tables for 2024 entry onwards. UCAS can add or revise entries between cycles, so before relying on a figure for an application, confirm it on ucas.com and read the entry requirements of the course itself.
How AS level is scored
Since the reformed A levels in England, an AS is a stand-alone qualification and is worth about 40 per cent of the full A level in points, not half. An AS at grade A is 20 points against 48 for an A at A level.
Only count an AS if you did not go on to complete the A level in that subject. A fourth AS you dropped after year 12 does count, provided you were certificated for it.
A number of universities cap how many points may come from AS levels, or ignore them altogether. Check before relying on them to reach a total.
Add it to your total
The calculator includes this qualification as a type you can add, alongside anything else you hold. If your other qualifications are Level 3 diplomas from OTHM or Qualifi, they will show as adding nothing, because they carry no Tariff points; the routes page explains what they lead to instead.
