Gnvq Ict

I did this 2 years ago for GCSE and it was in place of 2 GCSEs so my distinction was equivilent to A*/A. this was at the intermediate level. my question is this: some ppl have said they've done GNVQ ICT and got like a pass for example, and then said this is 4 C's. how is this possible? i didnt think you could do higher for GCSE?

If you do single part Intermediate GNVQ ICT (3 units) its equivalent to 2 GCSEs whereas full Intermediate GNVQ ICT (6 unit) is equivalent to 4 GCSEs

Single Award Intermediate (3 units) GNVQ ICT
Pass = 2 Cs
Merit = 2 Bs
Distinction = 2 As

Full (6 units) Intermediate GNVQ ICT
Pass = 4 Cs
Merit = 4 Bs
Distinction = 4 As

explains it. cheers dude
Cool. Help me out then. I did the Edexcel Intermediate GNVQ ICT in 2001. As I chose to study business studies and economics it meant that i wasnt allowed to study ICT :confused: anyway i had to do the one lesson a week Intermediate GNVQ ICT. I got my certificate and everything but ain't got a clue what grade I got. I did all the units and did the exam, so does everyone get the same grade for that subject? :confused:

no, you get either Fail, Pass, Merit, or distinction

pass = CC
Merit = BB
distinction = A*A
