To calculate your average points score, you must add up your total number of GCSE points/grades for the eight best subjects, including English and Maths, and then calculate the average.
Your GCSE points score is calculated by using your GCSE grades and using them as points scores.
9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Triple Science you count as 3 subjects in total:
Biology = 6 points
Chemistry = 5 points
Physics = 7 points
Total = 18 points
Double Science you count as 2 subjects in total:
Core Science = 6 points
Additional Science = 4 points
