A Level Grades
7 Answers
Hi, first time here. What are the A level grades from highest to lowest? I've just heard that someone I know has a D* which I've never heard of, when I asked they said the D stood for distinction, never heard of that grade.

>>>never heard of that grade
Neither has the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)!

(A-level grades are listed in the 3rd column, with the corresponding number of UCAS points - for university admission - in the 5th column).
'D' may well stand for 'Distinction' but it won't be at A-level. For example, BTEC grades are P (pass), M (merit), D (distinction) and D*. The award of a D* gains 140 UCAS points and is therefore equivalent (for university admission purposes) to an A* at A-level.

PS: I'm reminded here of an ex-pupil of mine whom I met, during the summer holidays, leaving the school premises and clutching his CSE results. He proudly showed me his 'A' grade in mathematics. I'm still not sure whether I should have reminded him (as I did) or kept quiet about the fact that CSE grades used numbers and not letters. The 'A' stood for 'Absent' because he'd failed to turn up for both exams!

The highest grade available at GCE AS-Level is grade A, which counts for 60 UCAS points (which is the same score as for a grade D at A-level).
The highest grade available at GCE AS Double Award Level is AA, which counts for 120 UCAS points (the same as grade A at A-level).
