UCAS Predicted Grades: Everything You Need to Know for Entry This Year - 2025
Understand how your predicted grades impact your UCAS application and university offers this year.
Your predicted grades and UCAS points play a pivotal role in securing a place at a top university. At National Learning Group (NLG), we understand the significance of these academic indicators and are dedicated to helping students achieve their highest potential. With tailored tutoring and expert guidance, we ensure that students not only meet but exceed their predicted grades, enhancing their university prospects.

Understanding Predicted Grades and Their Impact:
Predicted grades are estimations of what students are expected to achieve in their final exams. These grades form the basis of UCAS applications, influencing the offers students receive from universities. A strong set of predicted grades can:
- Increase acceptance rates at top universities.
- Secure conditional offers from competitive courses.
- Enhance scholarship and funding opportunities.
- Open pathways to prestigious career prospects.
However, falling short of predicted grades can limit university choices, making it essential to achieve the best possible scores.
What Are UCAS Points and Why Do They Matter?
UCAS points are a standardized system used by universities in the UK to evaluate qualifications. Each grade in A-levels, BTECs, and other qualifications is assigned a specific number of UCAS points. The higher your grades, the more UCAS points you accumulate, increasing your chances of university admission.
For example:
A-Level Grades: A* = 56 points, A = 48 points, B = 40 points, C = 32 points.
BTEC Diploma: Distinction* = 56 points, Distinction = 48 points, Merit = 32 points.
Different universities set specific UCAS point requirements for their courses. Aiming for the highest grades ensures flexibility and a wider selection of universities to choose from.
