Btec grade calculation

Hello everyone ,

I finished sixth form recently , I studied applied science level 3 extended diploma. My teacher calculated my grade and told me it’s a DDD for my over all grade result for august but apparently this can change due to grade boundaries is this true? Apparently it changes on how everyone’s done but is it not calculated from your grade results you have achieved

GCSE grade calculations are pretty complex.

You get awarded points for each unit.

For internal units (i.e. those assessed via coursework) those points are based on the unit grade (merit, distinction, etc.) and the size of the unit.

For external units (i.e. those assessed via exams) those points are based upon your exam mark, the unit size, and the grade boundaries. (Hence why your teacher is telling you, correctly, that "this can change due to grade boundaries"; they've presumably used last year's boundaries to estimate your overall grade.)

Once you know your points per unit, you sum them up to get your total points, and that tells you your overall grade (e.g. DDD).

does this help? https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/understanding-marks-and-grades/using-the-next-generation-btec-nqf-grade-calculator.html
thats what i used to get my grade

Hi , thanks , my teacher has already used that to calculate my grades as I have sat my exams and have my coursework results already but someone told me that the grade can change due to how everyone does in btec overall across the country I just wanna know if this is true

this can happen if you havent sat the exams yet. for example if you had exams in a month, and everyone else does badly, it becomes easier to get a merit. BUT if you've already done them, your grade can't change

Yes! That’s what I had meant , my friend tried to tell me otherwise what I didn’t get is I already have my grades for coursework which is a D and for exams I already know what I have as the last exam was around January. So then recently my teacher calculated it and said it’s a DDD does the exam board also calculate it or is it only teachers that submit it

Thank you but what I’m very confusted about I already know my exam and coursework results as I sat my exams a long time ago and that’s how my teacher has calculated them by my coursework and exam results already sat.

...I have as the last exam was around January. So then recently my teacher calculated it and said it’s a DDD does the exam board also calculate it or is it only teachers that submit it

Hi can anyone help me. I have calculated my grade using the calculator to and i would achieve 198 points which is DDM. I am 2 points clear of the threshold, does that mean i will still get DDM or is there a possibility the grade can change to a DMM?
