Hey guys

I'm totally confused.

The uni I want to go to is down in England. The website and prospectus doesn't give the Scottish requirements ( ), all it has is the english ones. But I'm totally confused about what scottish qualifications equal what english qualifications!

It says I need -
200 points or more, including a minimum of two A2 level passes (normally CCE or BB) - what do A2 levels equal in Scottish terms? And are the 200 points taken from my Highers, or SG's and Highers, or AH's too?!

A GCSE pass in a modern language - I presume that equals a SG pass at a modern language, which is ok because I got a 1 in german

A science subject is prefered at A Level - Do A Levels roughly equal Scottish AH's? I'll hopefully be taking AH Geography and Biology anyway, but I just wanted to check.

So, in short, I'd love to know what A Levels/A2 levels/ AS levels roughly equal in Scottish terms. I know that the uni will consider me on an individual basis (roughly), but I'd love to know what all this english stuff means anyway, so I know I'm not making the wrong choices.

I'm confused!

An A2 level is what you'd do in England in the equivalent of 6th year, AS levels are what you'd do in England in the equivalent of 5th year, An A level is both combined done over 2 years. So an A level is the equivalent of an AH.

The points I think are just AHs or Hs because a B in an AH is 100 UCAS points

I hope that helps
