Hello,


If someone has high school qualification from overseas, how can he get comparability for eg A-levels A*AA and UCAS points?


NARIC says they do not comment on the grades!


Any idea?

Are the qualifications included in the UCAS Tariff tables (page 154)?

If not, then they say:


There are only a certain number of qualifications on the Tariff. A uni, college, or conservatoire may accept a qualification even if it isn’t on the Tariff, so it’s best to check with them to see if they will accept your qualification. Remember, lots of course providers do not use Tariff points.

No, it's an overseas high school qualification.

NARIC do provide this service, they just don't interpret what they mean.

Most universities and major recruiters will have their own internal comparability matrix and may not require the NARIC equivalent.

They may want to speak to the UK Council for International Student Affairs for advice.

Well then, you'll need to go to the paragraph after "If not" in my post (which concurs with what Sandy has posted later).
