Btec grade calculator for uni

This is a late one.
Just wondering if someone else could quickly calculate my grades. I need an mmm to get into uni. I took a level 3 extended diploma enterprise and entrepreneurship. My college also decided to remove one unit which was the recruitment one I think. If anyone could do this it is highly appreciated.

Unit 1- pass
Unit 2-merit
Unit3-pass
Unit 4-pass
Unit 5-distinction
Unit 6-pass
Unit 12pass
Unit 11merit
Unit 13distinction
Unit 7distinction
Unit 8pass
Unit 9pass

Unit 2,3,6,12 was exam units.

You have your MMM.


(Please double check I've entered each grade per unit correctly.)

Note that the points you get for examined unit is on a sliding scale. So you get fewer points for just scraping a Pass than you do if you were almost at a Merit. The above at the minimum points you could get for each of the examined units. If I take the maximums instead, you'd be on DMM. So you overall grade of one of those two. Well done.

Hey I calculated my results bit I’m not 100% sure can you please help I’m doing Business extended

Unit 1 (distinction)

Unit 2 (pass)

Unit 3 (pass)

Unit 4 (distinction)

Unit 8 (merit)

Unit 27 (distinction)

Unit 19(distinction)

Unit 6 (pass)

Unit 7 (pass)

Unit 5 (distinction)

Unit 15 (distinction)

Unit 17(distinction)

Unit 21(distinction)

Unit 20 (merit)

Overall for the first year I got a merit but I’m hoping that these can give DDD or at-least DDM

A Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Business consists of 13 units, as confirmed by the specification - a screenshot of which is below.



You have listed 14 units, with no duplicates. Can you please double-check?

I accidentally put unit 17 which was not meant to be there thanks for the correction

OK. As the number of points associated with each external (examined) unit is based on your mark and not just you're grade, I can only estimate your overall grade.

Please check the right-most (Unit Grade) column below to ensure I've entered each of your grades into the calculator correctly. For each exam I've entered the minimum number of points you could have achieved and still received that unit grade. So the minimum overall grade you have is DDM.



The way external (examined) units work is on a sliding scale. Let's take unit 7 (Business Decision Making) as an example. If you'd just scraped a pass you'd get 12 points (which is what I entered above), and if you'd have just scraped a merit you'd have got 20 points. However, if you're just under a merit (so still a pass), then don't drop you down to 12 points - they give you 19. You get almost the merits points and you were almost at a merit. If you were mid-way between the two grade boundaries, you'd get "midway" points - so 16. Does that makes sense? If we do the calculation again, but assuming that you achieved the highest mark in each exam (but still within the grade we know you received) then your overall grade becomes a DDD:



There's no way to tell whether you have a DDM or a DDD without knowing your mark for each exam and the exam series in which you took each exam (e.g. Summer 2023) - because that tells us the applicable grade boundaires. Actually, better still would be if you know the points per exam. But people rarely know that.

Thank you so much that was honestly so helpful very grateful for that. I will update you with the grade information when I find out more but thank you for that brief idea. But just to confirm is the minimum grade I will get DDM thanks sorry for bothering!

Hey you helped me predict my BTEC Business Level 3 Extended Diploma results a few months ago without my actual grades, but I just received my exam results based on them. Can you help me predict the results I may get overall so I will know which to retake? Like last time, I will list all of the units and grades I received:
Unit 1 (distinction)
Unit 2 (pass)
Unit 3 (pass)
Unit 4 (distinction)
Unit 8 (merit)
Unit 27 (distinction)
Unit 19(distinction)
Unit 6 (merit)
Unit 7 (pass)
Unit 5 (distinction)
Unit 15 (distinction)
Unit 17(distinction)
Unit 20 (merit)

@Yasir1568 - As before, without marks for your external (examined) units, I'll need to provide a range when it comes to the overall grade. You have somewhere between a DDM (which you wanted to get "at-least") and a D*DD (which is more than the DDD you were hoping for), depending on your exam marks. A screen-shot of the "minimum" scenario is below (please check I've entered your units/grades correctly).

I realise that DDM to D*DD is quite a range, but the range of points you get can for a given grade in the external exams is quite large. You will note that the "maximum" scenario below has exactly the same unit grades, but the increased points estimate for the external (examined) units means a increased overall grade.

Let's hope it's at least the DDD you were looking for!

If I turn one of my coursework units from merit to distinction will I be sure to have DDD. And thank you so much you’ve helped relieve me of so much anxiety 🙏
