Im in year 10 and done half of them this year. so i got to my school and they tell me about a points scheme were i get points for doing exams and at the end i get a grand total. So the school only cashed in my Business studies one and gave me a sheet of paper with half done modual points on there. Anyone else experiance this problem ? And i got a C in business :lol:

No, they're not the same. I think the points he's referring to is the actual overall amount of points you have which is turned into a grade.

UCAS points are higher level education orientated but can include GCSEs. If you go onto to do A levels, or go to college and do another course, they will have representable points (UCAS points) which Universities use for applicants.
