Can I achieve DDM for btech extended diploma in business level 3?

I wanted to ask anybody knows if I can achieve a ddm as I have finished my course and I am worried if I can get into uni. Currently I have 5 distinction 3 merit and 3 pass and I am waiting for my last semester grades hopefully predicting 2 more distinction and 2 pass out of my total 15 units.

Appreciate your help.

Edit to add; Actually if you have finished the exam grade will be released today so your Tutor / Exams officer will be able to see your actual overall Grade. Have you not been told to collect results today or check them online?

It depends on the Unit GLH as that affects the overall grade. You can work it out yourself using the information on Pages 353-4 of the specification. If you list the Unit numbers and which grade you got for each I can work it out for you. Additionally it helps if you know how many points you got for each exam (your Exams officer will know). https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Business/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/btecnationals-bus-exdip-spec.pdf

Edit to add; It looks like you are doing an International Level 3 and not a UK BTEC. Is that correct?
If so, then you can calculate your overall grade using the tables on Pages 470-1 on the attached International spec; https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/btec-international-level-3/business/specification-and-sample-assessments/btecint-bus-spec.pdf

This has just actually confused me even more!.. You can't do a Level 3 BTEC at Uni?
The Unit numbers you have listed are wrong (you ve just numbered 1-15 rather than the actual Unit numbers from the specification (I can work them out though). A Level 3 Ext Diploma has 13 units and you have listed 15? I can't find Business ethics or Career planning on the spec.
Additionally for the exam units, if you sat them in January the results would have been released yesterday.
Can you clarify the actual course FULL name you are doing? See spec attached for Ext Diploma; https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Business/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/btecnationals-bus-exdip-spec.pdf
