I have just calculated 3 options (assuming you are doing the exact same units as the OP). To get an overall D*D*D*, you will need to get a Distinction for every unit and for three of the four exams (You can get a Merit for one of the exams).
If you get a Distinction for every coursework unit and Merits for the four exams, you can get D*DD.
If you get a Distinction for every coursework unit and passes for the four exams, DDM.

The exams are critical for the new BTECs and it is very rare for learners to get a Distinction for all four, so please bear this in mind. I don't have access to the results for Applied Science so can't give you a breakdown of how many learners did achieve a Distinction for previous years, but your teacher should be able to access this information for your own centre, so have a chat with them.

Download the BTEC NQF grade calculator from; https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/understanding-marks-and-grades/using-the-next-generation-btec-nqf-grade-calculator.html
Open it then Save it to your hard drive (it doesn't work on MAC / Ipads). Reopen it, enable editing and enable Macros and it should then let you select the correct course / units etc.
If that doesnt work, you can do it manually using the guide on Pages 308-312 of the specification; https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Applied-Science/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/BTEC-L3-Nat-ExtDip-in-Applied-Science-Spec.pdf

Put on here which units you are doing (all 13). List what grades you already have and for which units, and I will calculate it for you.

I calculate you have 169 BTEC points , which works out to an overall MMM (96 UCAS points). You can double check this for yourself by using the tables on pages 309-310 of the specification; Specification - Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Applied Science

The first link below shows the specification and you can use that to work out which units you are doing (you may need to ask your teacher which optional ones are being done; https://www.rvc.ac.uk/Media/Default/study/Undergraduate/documents/BTECNat_AppSci(Biomed)_ExtDips_Spec.pdf
The second link is the BTEC grade calculator. Download the National one and fill in all of the units with the grades you already have for completed units. Then play around with the rest to calculate an overall grade; https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/understanding-marks-and-grades/using-the-next-generation-btec-nqf-grade-calculator.html
