I did a BTEC and got DDM which is like AAC. The highest is DDD as the maximum UCAS points for a BTEC is 360.
What does a Public Service BTEC entail? Just curious because mine was in construction engineering

or you could also say that DDM is the same as ABB, prob best to just look at uni btec requirements to see if yours fit rather than comparing them with a levels.

DDD = AAA
MMM = CCC
PPP = EEE
You can't get Distinction* with BTEC National Diplomas.

according to ucas tariff.

To be honest after a BTEC you are not going to get into a top 10 unless you do something like Engineering or Medical science, with a public services BTEC you'll be looking at anywhere lower than Loughborough even with DDD. So it all depends on the subject

Maybe this has changed since I did my diploma (2002 - 2004), but a BTEC National Diploma DDD profile is worth 360 points, which unless something dramatic has changed is the equivalent of 3 A's at A level (AAA = 360).

No it's still the same according to that
So a DDD is still 360 points, which is the same as 3 A Levels at A (1 A is 120 points).
So if that works out D*D*D* profile will be the same as A*A*A*
Edexcel is currently working with UCAS to map the new BTEC Level 3 National QCF qualifications to the UCAS Tariff. UCAS has stated that it "views them to be updated versions of the existing NQF versions of the (Level 3) BTEC Nationals" and this implies that the Tariff points are unlikely to change.
Edexcel has proposed that the D* has an equivalence with the GCE A* grade.
