Dont understand ' DMM'

Hi,

The course i want to do at uni requires 280 ucas points.

To get that on my college course ( Btec Extended Diploma in Business )
i need to get DMM.

I understand that this means Distinction Merit Merit , but the course is 18 units.

Does this mean that i need to get an average of :

6 Distinctions
12 Merits

Cheers

Tommo

Actually, if you got 18 merits that would come out overall as a DDM, so to get a DMM I believe it would be mostly merits with some passes, if you google BTEC grade calculator you should be able to work it out. Hope this has helped!

Hiya

:smile:

I just checked a calculator and was wondering what i would enter in credits ?

its a 18 unit course with 180 credits.

If you mean for each individual unit, that would be 10 credits for each unit :smile:

:smile:

I do performing arts and I know some of my units are worth 20 credits but I think as your total credits only equal 180 then all your units should be 10. :smile:

:smile:

Thanks so much for your help ! :smile:

:smile:

is merit easily achievable if i work hard ?

is their anywhere i can find the criteria for my course?

cheers
