Is it still possible for me to get DDD?

Hi, I just started my second year of a computing btec. In my first year I got an overall M, would I still be able to get DDD as my final grade if I get all Ds this year? Or should I retake my unit 1 and 2 exams as well? (I got an M in unit 1 and P in unit 2)

Ask your teacher. They should have a spreadsheet that allows you to calculate grades based on marks.

I know my external assessment dates for my course, but if you've has been through year one and could let me know what dates they gave in their last few assignments that would be great. I want to find out when the last assignment is due, the internal units I'm doing just in case are:

Unit 07: IT Systems Security and Encryption

Unit 08: Business Applications of Social Media

Unit 11: Digital Graphics and Animation

Unit 22: Systems Analysis
Any other tips for my course would also be helpful, and I'm doing the PEARSON BTEC COMPUTING LEVEL 3 NATIONAL EXTENDED DIPLOMA.

Hi! I'm sorry I can't say to be honest, in my college all of my assignments were handed out pretty late (we had two computing groups and each got their assignments at different dates) so that impacted our deadlines, we had them a lot later than the other group so I think it just depends on the teachers tbh, I don't think there's a set deadline for the assignments and honestly I just can't remember what they were anymore. For other tips I would say to do your best on the unit 8 and 7 assignments bc they weigh quite a lot, ofc aim to do your best in all of them though. Also just constantly revise for the unit 1 and 2 exams, esp unit 1 bc it weighs more. With all the other work you're doing it's so easy to forget things, so the main thing is to just revise as much as you can and practice pseudocode and flowcharts!
