How many distinctions do you need to get DDD?

Hey people,

I've desperetly tried to find the answer on the UCAS website, but it only tells you the number of points you need to get DDD, which is 360, nothing more.:o: ....SO my question goes to those who've already done their BTEC national diploma..:smile: ..How many distinctions you need to get DDD?:confused:

No worries.

Remember though, your also allowed to fail three units. Of course, then you would have to get

12 D's
3 M's
3 P's

(I think)
they should have given you a booklet at the beginning of the course outlining it.
Also any queries, you can ask your tutor, or one of your lecturers :smile:
I have to earn 14 distinctions (and could have 4 pass's) to earn DDD
Yess, I'll definetly ask them about that 2morow!!!!!!
