DD is now starting year 2 of a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business Studies. At the end of the 2 years I understand she will have 3 grades ranging from Pass to Distinction*.
The results could be PPP, MMM, DDD, D D D* - or any combination of these.
After the first year she has completed 9 units and has been awarded a level 3, 90 credit diploma at grades Distinction, Distinction.
What I don't understand is how these awarded grades will affect the final results due next summer.
Are her 2 D grades "safe", ie they will definately stand as 2 firm results next summer with 1 more result to be obtained during this academic year? As such her final results will be D D* + ?
OR
Will these year 1 results be thrown into the "melting pot" of overall results and become absorbed into her final gradings depending upon how well she does in year 2, ie, if she performs badly the D* results could disappear and be levelled out at possible 3 Pass grades?
DD has asked her tutor but wasn't sure of the reply!!!!!
Help please.
