Ensure your stay organised and know extactly when your assignments are due. Plan in advance and give yourself plenty of time to complete them.
Good luck!

My advice is to buy the books now and start studying.
Unit 1: Principles of Computer Science is an Exam
Unit 2: Fundamentals of Computer Systems is an Exam
Unit 3: Planning and Management of Computing Projects is an Controlled Assessment
Unit 4: Software Design and Development Project is an Controlled Assessment
Books:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revise-Nati...nals+computing
https://www.amazon.co.uk/National-Co...nals+computing
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Revision Guide - Pure revision content for Units 1 to 4

Hope this helps. PLEASE NOTE: This information I have given is for BTEC Nationals Computing, not BTEC Nationals IT. Please check which you are doing before you take it on board.

Lancaster is probably the best Uni you can get into with a BTEC IT so good choice...

You don't need books, I got triple D* doing the same course. Just finish all assignments before hand. Ask your teachers to review your work. The internet has enough information for you to achieve the highest marks.

You do with the new BTECs, they scrapped the old BTEC Nationals IT and replaced it with Computing and an IT one, both with exams and controlled assessments. Yes you may of got a Triple Distinction* but your course was assignments only.
