[QUOTE="LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern, post: 157736, member: 30526"] Hi Gimmeatc, Your IB results are not low. 33 IB points it’s quite high and most people are on average scoring 24. Your 33 IB points are definitely around 170+ UCAS points, which would be the equivalent of 4 As at A level. I did the IB too. I achieved 30 points which is the equivalent of 164 UCAS points. 164 UCAS points are more or less three As at A-Level. When applying to law firms, always provide them with the UCAS equivalent. Most application forms include the option of including UCAS points. You can precisely calculate your UCAS points by using this link: [URL]https://www.ucas.com/ucas/tariff-calculator[/URL] Again, 33 IB points is by no means a low grade. It would be extremely unfair for firms to ask us to have 40+ IB points when we have 6 subjects to revise for and A-Level students get away with 3 subjects most of the time. That’s why you should use the UCAS tariff points calculator to calculate your equivalent to a levels. With my 30 IB points, I got a vac scheme and was recently invited to interviews with a couple of US firms. And if you manage to achieve a first or even a 2:1, your credentials would be impressive! Don’t be discouraged by your grades, they are not low. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
