I tried its not working for me Do you mind if you check for me

If we assume you got the minimum mark in each in each external (examined) units which you could get to achieve the grade you have been awarded for that unit, then your overall grade is DDM:

However, if we assume you got the maximum mark in each in each external (examined) units which you could get to achieve the grade you have been awarded for that unit, then your overall grade id D*DD:

You will note that in both screen shots all the unit grades are the same, but the unit points (for the external/examined units) are different because this depends not only on your grade, but also on your mark in each exam.
So all we can say is that your grade is some where between DDM and D*DD.
(Please do check the screenshots to ensure I've entered your units and grades correctly!)

How do you convert the marks you got to points?

You've just listed a random set of unit grades, without telling anyone what you're actually studying. I assume this is a BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate, right? In what subject? Applied Science? Business? Engineering? Something else? Are you asking for someone to estimate your overall grade?

hello, are you able to help em caluclate my grades? im doing btec applied scinece lvl 3 extended diploma.

here are my gardes and marks
unit one: principles and application of science | = Merit (43 marks out of 90)
unit three: Science investigation skills = Merit (38 marks out of 60)
unit four: laboratory techniques and their application. = Merit
Unit two: practical scientific procedures and Techniques = Distinction
unit fifteen: Electrical circuits and their applications = distinction
unit eight: physiology of Human body Systems. = pass

Unit 5 : principles and applications of science 2 = Merit (63 marks)
unit seven: contemporary issues in science . = merit (24 marks)
unit twenty one: medical physics applications. = pass
unit fourteen: Applications of organic chemistry. = pass
unit eighteen: industrial chemical reactions = merit
unit twenty two : material science = distinction
Unit six :investigative project. = distinction

thank you

For the exam-based units, when did you do the exams? I need the year and month (e.g. June 2024 or January 2025) so I can use the correct grade boundaries. (Obviously the answer is unlikely to be the same for all four units.)

unit 1 and 3 was done in janurary 2024 ( i never got my exact grades for the re sits i did so i dont know if my re sits effected the ammount of marks that i had gotten on them) and for unit 5 and 7 i had just sat them in january 2025

Thanks. We'll cover the exam-based (external) units first, as they're more complicated. The table below (from the specification) shows the minimum points you get for each such unit, depending on the grade and unit size (in GLH, guided learning hours).

However, as it says in the various grade boundaries documents, "Points are awarded on a sliding scale between the grade boundaries based on the number of raw marks achieved by each learner". This is why I wanted to know when you'd taken the exams, and hence what the grade boundaries were.
January 2024
The January 2024 grade boundaries, extracted from here), are below.

For Unit 1, a 90 GLH unit, you obtained 43 marks out of 90. That reached the threshold for a Merit (which was 41 marks) and was 2 marks into the 18 marks (59 - 41) covered by that grade. So you get 15 points for the Merit, plus 2/18ths of the additional 9 marks which a Distinction would have earned you. So you get 16 points.
For Unit 3, a 120 GLH unit, you obtained 38 marks out of 60. That reached the threshold for a Merit (which was 30 marks), and was 8 marks into the 12 marks (42 - 30) covered by that grade. So you get 20 points for the Merit, plus 8/12ths of additional 12 marks which a Distinction would have earned you. So you get 28 points.
January 2025
The January 2025 grade boundaries, extracted from here) are below:

For Unit 5, a 120 GLH unit, you obtained 63 marks out of 120. That reached the threshold for a Merit (which was 53 marks) and was 10 marks into the 25 marks (78 - 53) covered by that grade. So you get 20 points for the Merit, plus 10/25ths of additional 12 marks which a Distinction would have earned you. So you get 25 points (rounded).
For Unit 7, a 120 GLH unit, you obtained 24 marks out of 50. This is right on the Merit boundary, so you get 20 points.
We then just have to plus those numbers, and the grades for you internal (coursework-based) units unto the official Pearson grade calculator to see that you have a total of 212 points, for an overall grade of DDM.

Please check the maths above. It easy, but also easy to make a silly mistake.

Hi, let’s say Im applying to the uni of Nottingham and they require a DDD , I’m 4 points off of one. Does that mean I’ll be rejected?

No. It just means you won't automatically have your place confirmed. Once those offer-holders who have met their offer conditions have their places confirmed, they'll check to see how many places (if any) they have left. If they have spaces left to fill, then they'll look to fill those with "near miss" candidates, which you would be.
Edited to add that you've mentioned above that you "never got my exact grades for the re sits i did". Those may have yielded the additional four points you need for DDD.

hi, thank you for the replys and the time to calculate my grades, im applying for the university of nottingham for pharmacy is there a chnace that they go into clearing and or they do have spaces for "near miss" candidates usually? or are they one of the universitys that dont really do that?

I don't know whether or not University of Nottingham has placed Pharmacy in Clearing in recent years.
However, the "How do you compare" section of this UCAS page says that, although their A level entry requirements for MPharm (2025 entry) are AAB, they have accepted 85% of applicants who achieved ABB and 61% of applicants who achieved BBB in recent years. Some of those will have been contextual candidates, but this does suggest that have previously been able to confirm the place of some "near miss" candidates.


It's also interesting to note that for 2026 entry they've increased their standard A level requirements to AAA, so this is clearly the year to gain entry!

Hi, thank you so for the help that you have given, I was going to ask is there a way to calc if I got more points or not in my first year? I’ve you calc you grade and see how many pints I get as I had gotten 107 at the end of the year?
