BTEC level 3.2 grade

since this whole coronavirus pandemic I'm not too sure about what grade I'm going to get, over the course of 2 years of BTEC applied science level 3.2 I've achieved 9 Distinctions 6 merits and 4 passes. my entry for university is DDM does anyone think those grades are enough or even higher to achieve my DDM entry grade?

There are normally 18 units in an extended diploma. Unclear why you have 19 unless some of those are half units?
In any event by my calculations the lowest you can get with those grades is DDM.

so if i go by the 18 units i got 8 distinctions 6 merits and 4 passes is that still enough to achieve a DDM or Higher

I am assuming they are all ten credit units..
The advantage of BTEC is you know what you need all along.

There were 2 5 credit units last year but apart from that they're all 10 credit

I assume the 2x5 you got distinctions for? In any event DDM. Close to DDD. Passes really kill you.

so basically i have 8 distinctions with 10 credits and 2 with 5 credits, then i have 5 merits with 10 credits and 3 passes with 10 credits

Is that enough for a DDM

Its what I believe the course consists of. Units which add up to 180 credits. As I said if you did exams and it was externally assessed that is probably a 20 credit unit.

Sort out where your ten credits have gone.
You may have to look at the original spec of your course and tick off which units you have done.

You need to know where the ten credits are because they are worth marks which are enough to change your final grade.

Which ones of those units are double.
16x10 credits is 160 credits.

Tell me how many DM and P you got.
the ones which are externally assessed are likely to be 20 credit doubles.
