Final Year Of My BTEC & Results.

Hey! Their is no set results day for BTEC students, it's purely dependant on when your tutor submits your final grades to the exam board (Edexcel), and when they authorise the results to make it official with a certificate. As soon as they do that, your results are sent directly to the universities that you have chosen as your firm and insurance, with a change in your offer from conditional to unconditional, or if god forbids, you were to miss the grades and they weren't able to offer a place, a decision to be made on that.

This thread may help give you a few ideas: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2975029&x=9&y=6

Thanks allot for the reply. Another question btw, how come everyone on this BTEC thread have like 3 grades? and are doing the Extended Diploma? Because im in a british college abroad and they only offer Subsidary diploma in year 12 and a National Diploma in Year 13 if you progress further. Are National Diplomas same as Extended? Because i have been told i will come out with 4 A-level equivalent grades at the end of year 13. Wouldnt that then be 4 grade? For example if i was to get D* D* D* D* (2 grades in year 12 and 2 in year 13).

All level 3 BTEC qualifications are known as Nationals and there are 5 types of BTEC Nationals.

BTEC Level 3 Certificate = 0.5 A Level (AS) (30 Credits)
BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma = 1 A Level (60 Credits)
BTEC Level 3 90-credit Diploma = 1.5 A Levels (90 Credits)
BTEC Level 3 Diploma = 2 A Levels (120 Credits)
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma = 3 A Levels (180 Credits)

A National Diploma and National Extended Diploma are different, as you can see from above, the Extended Diploma is worth one more A level and has more credits (units).

It depends upon your situation, if you are doing a 1 year Subsidiary Diploma and then a 2 year Extended Diploma, you would have 4 grades but two qualifications. I would have thought it more likely that you are doing a 90-credit Diploma in year one and in year two you would complete the reaming 90 credits to make an Extended Diploma (180 credits)

No I am doing a 1 Year Subsidary in Year 12, and then progressing further onto a Diploma in year 13. That is why I have been told i will have 4 A-levels. Ive done two BTECS in year 12 and il do 2 more in (same subject) Year 13. So two A-level equivalent grades in year 12 and two more in year 13. That makes it 4 A-level equivalent grades. Am i correct im not sure now myself? Can i still get into university?
