I have just calculated 3 options (assuming you are doing the exact same units as the OP). To get an overall D*D*D*, you will need to get a Distinction for every unit and for three of the four exams (You can get a Merit for one of the exams).
If you get a Distinction for every coursework unit and Merits for the four exams, you can get D*DD.
If you get a Distinction for every coursework unit and passes for the four exams, DDM.

The exams are critical for the new BTECs and it is very rare for learners to get a Distinction for all four, so please bear this in mind. I don't have access to the results for Applied Science so can't give you a breakdown of how many learners did achieve a Distinction for previous years, but your teacher should be able to access this information for your own centre, so have a chat with them.

Download the BTEC NQF grade calculator from; https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/understanding-marks-and-grades/using-the-next-generation-btec-nqf-grade-calculator.html
Open it then Save it to your hard drive (it doesn't work on MAC / Ipads). Reopen it, enable editing and enable Macros and it should then let you select the correct course / units etc.
If that doesnt work, you can do it manually using the guide on Pages 308-312 of the specification; https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Applied-Science/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/BTEC-L3-Nat-ExtDip-in-Applied-Science-Spec.pdf
