Nope, much more than that, for an A Level. One second I will go have a look in my school diary ^_^

Aha!

An A at AS Level is 60, so that's what you were thinking of. A whole A Level at an A grade is worth 120 UCAS points. So if I get an A in something at A Level, I'm well on my way there.

It's like this:

AS LEVEL

A - 60
B - 50
C - 40
D - 30
E - 20

A LEVEL

A - 120
B - 100
C - 80
D - 60
E - 40

Yeah you are right about that! I've got so much to put down though, so I'm sure I'll be fine in that! I might even start practicing my personal statement soon. If I don't get into University my parents will be so pissed >.<
