On Thursday, thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their A-level results.
While some universities and colleges will ask for specific grades (eg. AAB) others use UCAS points in their entry requirements, so you may need to know how many points your qualifications are worth.
UCAS Tariff points translate your qualifications and grades into a numerical value.
You can calculate your overall points, by using UCAS' handy calculator here.
