UCAS points to CAO conversion?

Question

How do I convert 185 UCAS points to CAO points?

Answer 1

it doesnt really work like that, coz the leaving certificate and a-levels arent equal. ive done the leaving cert. and im studying a-levels at the mo.

a leaving certificate subject is only worth 3 quarters of an A-Level.

but the irish points system works like this

A1 (90-100%) - 100

A2 (85-90%) - 90

B1 (80-85%) - 85

B2 (75-80%) - 80

B3 (70-75%) - 75

etc etc

then under 40 percent is a fail.

but then it all depends on the level your doing. theyre based on higher level subjects, which is probably what youd need.

and also, in ireland they do 7 subjects and count their best 6.

and in england you'd be doing 3 or 4. so it's not going to add up.

have you filled in a CAO form? because if youve got in im sure theyl let you know. otherwise you'll probably have to ring up and enquire.
