BTEC Applied Science Grade

I do BTEC Applied Science National Extended Certificate (equivalent to 1 A Level) and I was wondering what grades would I need to achieve for each unit to get an overall Distinction?

So far, I've achieved:
Unit 1: Pass
Unit 2: Distinction
Unit 3: ?
Unit 12: ?

I've recently just finished my Unit 3 exam and I think I would've got a Pass or Merit. I have the option to resit my Unit 1 and 3 exams again in May but I don't know if it's necessary unless I know for sure that my overall grade will be a Distinction.

If you got a Merit for Unit 3, you will need to get a Distinction for U12 and a Merit for U1 resit to get an overall Distinction. You can download the Grade calculator (NQF) from; https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/understanding-marks-and-grades/using-the-next-generation-btec-nqf-grade-calculator.html Have a play around with grades to see what you need.
