tariff


Explanation:
Note that my suggestion applies only for U.K. English.
An explanation of the term in Swedish appears at http://www.skolverket.se/sb/d/830/a/11081. The translation from meritvärde > tariff appears at the first reference link below and is used there by Högskoleverket (The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education). The term "tariff" is used in the U.K. -- see the second reference link below for an explanation and for the source of the example sentence.
There is no analogous term in U.S. English, as college admissions are decentralized here and applicants are not uniformly assigned an individual point value.

Example sentence(s):
  • "The UCAS Tariff is the system for allocating points to qualifications used for entry to higher education."
