L3 Points

Level 3 Points, usually shortened to L3 Points, are the main way used by the University of Laioria for determining entry requirements for its courses. Based on the system used in the United Kingdom, it was introduced in 2017 to streamline university applications.

The University of Laioria attaches a grade to all A Level courses upon every three-year review. This dictates how many L3 Points are awarded for each grade, when each A Level grade on the traditional Laiorian 1-10 scale is received, according to which course it is awarded in.

The system works such as:


 * 1) A student received a Grade 7 in English Language (A), a Grade 7 in History (A-) and a Grade 6 in Sociology (B+). They want to take the Linguistics course at the University of Laioria, which requires 800 points.
 * 2) Their English Language 7 translates to 378 points.
 * 3) Their History 7 translates to 366 points.
 * 4) Their Sociology 6 translates to 285 points.
 * 5) They received a total 1,029 points, which allows them onto further consideration for the course.
 * 6) A student received a Grade 6 in Engineering (B), 7 in Mathematics (A), 5 in Further Mathematics (A+) and 7 in Physics (A). They want to study the Civil Engineering course at the University of Laioria, requiring 1,250 points, with a 7 in Engineering and 7 in Maths and Physics.
 * 7) The student narrowly failed the Engineering requirement, which would disadvantage them even if their L3 Points were sufficient.
 * 8) 260 + 378 + 350 + 378 = 1,366 points. This qualifies them in the L3 points requirement. They may have to hope due to it being a competitive course.
 * 9) A student received a Grade 9 in Art and Design (C+), a Grade 7 in Music (B), and a Grade 10 in Leisure Studies (D+). They want to study Dramatic Arts at the National Conservatoire of Laioria, which also uses the L3 system, and requires 900 points.
 * 10) Their Leisure Studies Grade 10 translates to 250 points.
 * 11) Their Art and Design Grade 9 translates to 325 points.
 * 12) Their Music Grade 7 translates to 310 points.
 * 13) 325 + 310 + 250 = 885 points. The student will have to hope due to narrowly failing the requirements.
