In addition to my last question, I'm confused on how I would answer this "If your education took place outside of the UK, please explain how any non UK qualifications compare with equivalent UK qualifications." are they specifically talking about A-level equivalents or also GCSE's? I'm not entirely sure how I would go about answering this if they're asking about GCSE equivalents, if it's just A-Levels I am assuming I could just state that I convert into UCAS points?
yes - your IB will just convert to UCAS points.
This is a pretty crappy question the firm is asking you. Pre-16 level education doesn’t convert easily and ultimately to do so you typically have to pay for someone to convert it for you.
I personally wouldn’t contact the grad Rec teams, as it is not up to them to convert your grades for you.
If you haven’t got any information on direct comparisons (which would be likely), present information like what percentile you were in in your year group or nationally (if you have that information).
feel free to PM me further details of your qualifications and I might be able to provide some insight on how it converts.
Please note though that many people aren’t formally assessed and so don’t have a qualification at the age of 16 - you only need to provide qualifications not school Grades
