Hi guys
Hope you can help me out. I am studying a BTEc extended diploma level 3 at a college. I am currently in the second year of the course and have applied to go to University. I have received a conditional offer subject to me obtaining DDM. I have completed the first year and only achieved a Pass in all units. I am now working towards merits and distinctions and am very capable of achieving them. I have completed 9 units last academic year and doing 9 units this academic year. Is their any chance of me getting DDM and if so what grade would I have to achieve this year and if not what is the highest possible grade I can get.
Hope it makes sense
P.s I have tried using the UCAS calculator but had no luck

Have been looking at this for you and if I have read the rules correctly then I think its impossible on your current scores to get DDM. The pass grades just weigh you down.

1460 is how any points you need.

Pass =7
Merit =8
Dist = 9

9 units first year= 9x7x10=630

1460-630= 830

9 units second year= 9x9x10= 810 max if you got all distinctions.

1,440 is DMM.

Talk to your tutor to see if you can resubmit some modules. It would then make it possible with each improvement to merit giving you ten marks and each one to distinction increasing you by 20.

Which uni are you applying to? Just double check on your UCAS track that you haven’t been offered Unconditional if chosen as firm. My son was offered a conditional offer and totally missed thatvit said further down, if he accepted it as his firm then it would be unconditional. As he’s only applied to that uni it was a no brainer. Took all the stress out of it.
