When did you take the exams for Unit 1 and Unit 3? The reason I ask is that in January 2024 the mark required for a distinction in Unit 1 was actually 42/72, whilst you got 41. That would have meant you have a merit (albeit a very high merit). See the January 2024 BTEC grade boundaries here.

Regardless, yes - based upon your predictions, you're on track for a D*.

Note that if either (or both) of you two predicted unit grades turn out to be merits, then you'll get a D overall.

Understood. In June 2023, the grade boundary for a distinction in Unit 1 was 41/72, so you would have indeed gained a distinction for it.
