BTEC Level 3 Health and Social Care

I done BTEC NQF Extended Certificate in Health and Social Care. I got a distinction in unit 14 and 5 (my courseworks) and then a merit in unit 1 and 2 (my exams). I can’t find anywhere to show what overall grade I will get, does anyone know ?

I have attached a link to the specification. Pages 101-102 show you how to calculate it. Given the grades you have stated you should have an overall Distinction. The Merit for Unit 1 gives you between 15 and 23 points. The Merit for Unit 2 is 20-31 points. Unit 5 Dis is 24 and U14 Dis is 16 points. You need 74 for a Dis and 90 for a D*. You have at least 75 points if you just got a Merit for both exams. However if you know the actual points for the 2 exam units (ask your teacher or Exams officer) and you have a high Merit, you could get an overall Dis Star. https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Health-and-Social-Care/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/9781446938003-btec-nat-excert-hsc-ag-spec-iss3c.pdf
