What music grades are counted as a GCSE?

[P3onyPenny]

Is it 6 and above?

What makes you think they are? I can't see why they would?

(I think some can attract UCAS points in certain situations though?)

Don't some grades get the same ucas points as the old C?

Happy to be proved wrong but if not which are they?

You can get Ucas points for grade 6 and above on a rising scale for type of pass and grade.

Thanks Miranda.

UCAS points are only useful for a course that asks for points. If they ask for A levels, points from music are not counted. DD had theory grade 6. Two singing exams at grade 8.

Grade 5 Practical Music plus Grade 5 Theory are often required as an alternative to GCSE Music for progression to A level Music or Music Theory...

A level Music Technology!

And lots of unis accept grades for music degree instead of A level music.

Grade 5 exams are supposed to need the same amount of work as a GCSE, Grade 6 and up are Level 3 exams so get the UCAS points.
