I'm wondering, what is a BTEC National Diploma Level 3 equivalent to in terms of a-levels?
I'm on track to receive triple distinction which is 360 UCAS points, but what exactly is it equivalent to compared to a-levels?
I am thinking three C's?
Please help!

It would be worth 3 As in terms of UCAS points, but you'd have to check with universities to see if they considered that as a replacement to A-levels.

Well done. It is definitely not worth 3 Cs at A-level as you'd be at a major advantage over someone who achieved those grades. I have not done A-level or BTEC at Level 3 but I guess that the latter is slightly easier. I'd say it's worth ABB or BBB in terms of work? I don't know. I don't think universities care much.

you would have to get 6 merits and 6 distinctions to achieve a distinction distinction and have you finished the course?

for the question about your btec, it depends on your tutors and how they feel.
thanks for the replies.. so do the first year of your a level ucas points not get added together with the second year?
like im fairly intelligent (not being big-headed) but i did choose to do a college course, not sixth form and people are saying its so unfair i get 360 ucas points etc but i agree with them because sixth formers put so much work in and theres me, heck, i do sod all, i just do the assignments :/

thanks humbug.
we only had one attempt at the distinction and that was the first time we tried. I asked a teacher on this forum (different thread) he said we should have at least one more try to get the distinction .

I really hope this thread won't be a start of arguements between Alevel and BTEC students. There are many snobs on TSR who will be willing to join this.
BTEC NATIONAL DIPLOMA (Level 3) are, according to UCAS, give you 320 points which is the same to AAA at A levels.
