Btec Applied Science Results Year 1

Hi guys, im overthinking my results could someone calculate them for me? These are my worst scenario results by the way not my actual ones.

Unit 1 = near pass
Unit 2 = merit
Unit 3 = near pass
Unit 8 = Distinction
Unit 9 = merit

It is not clear what size of BTEC you're studying. The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Applied Science contains 13 units, and students normally study 6 units in the first year (via which they can gain a Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Foundation Diploma in Applied Science) and then 7 units in the second year. However, you have listed just 5 units. Is there any chance you took Unit 4 (Laboratory Techniques and their Application) in addition to the five units you've already listed?

Or perhaps the "Btec Applied Science Results Year 1" in the thread title is a red herring, as you're actually taking a one-year course, such as the Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Applied Science? But that contains just 4 units, whilst you have listed 5.

Hence the confusion - 5 units just doesn't make a lot of sense. :confused:

OK. Well, without Unit 4 you haven't completed anything for which an overall grade can be calculated, unfortunately.
