I'm not sure how it works for you, but the highest grade you can get in BTEC Business Level 3 exams is a D. (Distinction)

Tips for achieving a D (Distinction):
Make sure to go over all of your equations again because I'm very sure 20% of the paper (1/4) is made up of calculations questions, which will automatically give you a pass. I also recommend that you use YouTube to go over past and sample papers so that you have a solid understanding of how to respond to the question. Writing it down and then testing yourself or asking someone to test you is also a very good way of remembering things.

Good Luck!
