It doesn't work like that.
Not too sure where the 50-58 points is from and that note is confusing, but to get an overall MMM for Ext Diploma, you need 156-175 BTEC points which gives you 96 UCAS points.
Your best bet is to list all the Unit numbers (and names) of everything you have already covered with the Grade (and the actual points for any exam units). then list the units you are still doing and your expected grade for each and we can work it out better. You can also do it yourself by looking at Pages 398-402 of the spec; https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Nationals/Art-and-Design/2016/specification-and-sample-assessments/btec-l3-nat-ext-dip-in-art-and-design-spec.pdf

The last time you posted that image (on this thread) I came to the conclusion that you were studying the "Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Art and Design Practice" (2019) rather than the "Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Art and Design" (2016) which @bamtutor has linked to above. I reached that conclusion based upon the "MMM is 50 - 58" in the note from your tutor, which aligns with the 2019 qualification:

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Art and Design Practice - Calculation of Quali.JPG

If you have indeed got a total of 69 BTEC points then you have a DDM according to the image above (from the specification). DDM is 128 UCAS points.

Note, however, that to leap from 18 BTEC points after year 1 to 69 BTEC points after year 2 would be unusual. So, as @bamtutor has suggested, it'd be safer if you could (a) confirm the exact name of the course you're studying and then (b) list every unit number / name / grade / mark / whatever you have.

I did think I had seen the same note and question before! I didn't notice they were doing the new 2019 version so thanks for clarifying that.
