I'm unsure how many ucas points these results actually add up to. There seems to be more points given to an E than a D I don't understand.

The EPQ is only half an A Level. It would be 12 points if it were a full A Level.

You also appear to have a mix of A levels and diplomas in there. So a D for a diploma is a distinction. If you go to the UCAS website you can plug in each qualification and grade to get a total points score.

I've tried this but I'm not getting very far, I'm confused which ones to select

The grade D Maths A level is 24 tariff points, the E in Physics is 16, the EPQ is 10. So 50 in total.

The other two look like unit marks from a BTEC national in computing - but not the full award. But I'm not certain sorry.

I'm still unsure of these results. Do some of the D grades actually mean Distinction?
