Without more detail, it's impossible to say. Not all units are the same size, with the larger units having more of an impact on your overall grade. So we'd need to know which units you've done this year (not all colleges teach them in the same order) and which unit you got the pass in. Also, you haven't mentioned the exams - how have you been doing in those?

Thanks for the response
Unit 8:- merit
Unit 2:- pass
Unit9:-pass
Unit 4 merit
At the beginning of the year for my first assignment I got a pass for unit 2 and unit 9 that’s why my overall for the whole unit is a pass

I agree that your most likely grade for this year is a P. There's a slim chance that it will be an M, if both your passes in the Unit 1 and Unit 3 exams were just short of the merit boundary. (The units with exams work differently to the units worth coursework, and the mark you get has an impact too - not just the grade.)

A DDD is theoretically possible, but very unlikely. If you achieved a distinction in every piece of coursework next year, and a good merit (midway between the merit and distinction boundaries) in both exams, you'd end up with DDM. To get a DDD you'd need to get a distinction in all the coursework units and both the exam units. :eek:

Oh alright
I’ll guess I have to work harder next year to achieve these grades
Thank you so much
