60 to 69 was equivalent to 300-320 UCAS points (BBC, BBB). [ 3 ] The study concluded that EB participants were disadvantaged by the then current official equivalency system for converting their mark into UCAS points, with even students with a bare pass at the EB (60-64) more likely to get a good degree at university than students who achieved ...
