yes it can depending on your results. results are converted into UCAS points so the higher the grade the more UCAS points you get. e.g. PPP = 120 MMM = 240 DDD = 360
You can do retakes of exams to get better grades and therefore get a higher number of UCAS points. Or you can take on some extra subjects to get UCAS points from them too.
None because GCSEs do not give you UCAS points. Only AS and A Levels and their equivalents (eg. BTECs) give you UCAS points
Yes, you can earn UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) points for ice skating through qualifications such as the National Ice Skating Association (NISA) Skate UK and higher levels. These qualifications can earn you points towards your overall UCAS application for university. It's important to check with individual universities to see if they accept UCAS points from ice skating qualifications.
The diploma is equal to 3 A grades at A-level, however the A-level is significantly worth more UCAS points than a Diploma, but really it's not what's better generally, it's what is better for you.
A grade A at AS level (if you did not carry on the subject until the end of A2 A Level) is worth 60 points. A grade A from a full A Level is worth 120 points. For the full UCAS tarfiff table, please see the related link.
A GCE A Level at Grade B is worth 100 UCAS points
UCAS's motto is 'At the heart of connecting people to higher education'.
LAMDA only accept applications made straight to them, they don't use UCAS.

I believe it's a key skills qualification. According to this calculator, a Key Skills qualification at level 2 is worth 10 UCAS points. http://www.merlinhelpsstudents.com/studentlife/beforeuniversity/ucas/ucaspointscalculator.asp
