BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering

hi
I am currently studying this course without any a levels. Can you tell me how you studied your A-level maths and how you managed to do both AS and A2 both in a year because from last year all the exams were moved back to June/July?

Also can you give me general advice on study this level 3 course because now there is no resets.

thanks

When you book the exams only you essentially take the first set when the resits would be taken. Then the rest in the summer.

You know that big book they generally give you. Regurgitate that. It has 90% of the information you need in it. I didnt really use it and had to put in graft but looking through it afterwards i regret that.

I'm currently doing the Diploma, right now I'm struggling with the hands on aspect I.e creating circuits. Is there any way or resources to help me get better at this any reply is much appreciated

Hey did you do a mechanical project , if so can I have it ?

If you're really interested in Engineering finish the course as it is equivalent to 3-A Levels, I've done it when there's no exams needed LOL feel sorry for you guys nowadays LOL but I also did higher diploma and did exams so I guess it balanced it and yeah you will still be able to get in Uni with Btec Level 3 Extended Engineering Diploma you have 17 units to complete within two years so you should be fine just get a lot of support from your teacher and don't copy and paste online.

Good Luck !

Finished it. Top grade in every unit. I took a-levels along side and afterwards.

Still getting rejections mostly across the board. I must be wrong in thinking Both an A* in A-level maths and Distinction at HNC is not a greater qualification than a B in GCSE mathematics as their requirements stipulate.

Leeds, Sheffield x2, Southampton, loughborough.

Leeds offer. Sheffield rejection x 2, Southampton (Offer and firmed. Rated no2 in the country for mechanical engineering and higher career prospects than imperial so arguably no1, yes please). loughborough was still waiting for when I pulled the trigger on Southampton.

That's really strange, I have the same as you - predicted A* in A level maths and Dist at HNC (taking exams this summer) and I got 4 offers.


congrats. haha bit of a stretch to say rejection across the board!

I thought I saw on another thread that you got an unconditional from Cambridge?

Nope not this time. I applied last time. Some 3/4 years ago. Interview. Offer from another college a mature students college. Rejected it and did something else with my life for a while. I was never going to apply to Cambridge this year. After working with graduates from there I simply don't think its up to scratch.

Applied this year and got rejected by somewhere I got an offer from before.....Baffled! But its sound. Southampton it is!

Ah fair enough, that's weird where was that? Yeah Southampton is really good! What type of Engineering did you apply for?

Just replied to your PM.
