AVCE Double award course (any)

I was just wondering, will i get some additional points to my final mark considering ive done 18 units when only 12 make up the double award grade? I was a bit annoyed to find out that I would only get 2 overall a levels from the course when i was told when i enrolled i would get three A level grades.

That is funny. I was told that the 18 unit course gave me 3 A-Levels too. Glad I went for Psychology instead of the extra 6 units.

According to this, the extra units will be graded and you will receive certificates for them.

I would also think that you can choose which of the optional units are put together to make up the 2 A-Levels, so go for the units with the highest marks if you can.
