BTEC results

[twosoups1972]

Does anyone know when BTEC results are due out? Dd’s school is useless with communication and I can’t get hold of anyone.

It’s Pearson BTEC in Performing Arts.

Level 3 BTEC?

Wednesday 14th August. A school that also has A Levels will probably hand them out on Thursday 15th though. On Wednesday the school exams office will be too busy (it’s download day for A Level, they will be printing results and stuffing envelopes) and if students do combinations of A Level and BTEC then their statement of results won’t be complete until the Thursday anyway.

Same day as A Level results. Assuming she's Level 3 and has done the externally assessed units on the new spec (did she do Unit 5 Individual Performance Commission and Unit 7 Employment Opportunities in the Performing Arts this year?) then the results are given to students on the same day as A Level results. If she's on the old spec (NQF) there are no external assessments and she ought to know the result already as she will know all her individual unit grades. Do you know which spec she's on?

Thank you, it’s the BTEC that’s equivalent to 3 A levels, is that level 3? I had thought the results come out earlier than A levels but maybe I got that wrong.

They are officially released one day earlier but if it’s a school or college that also has A Levels then, as I said, they will probably hold results day for both on the same day.

@twosoups1972 do you know if she’s on the new spec with the external units?

I have no idea! As I’ve said, school are useless, dd and her peers have no clue about anything.

Your DD will know if she had to do Unit 5 (Individual Performance Commission) or not - did she have to create a solo performance around the end of May based on the theme of conflict and resolution? If you can let me know that, I'll know whether or not she's on the new spec. If she's on the old spec, and knows her unit grades, I can tell you what her overall grade is.

They should pretty much have the results already?

IamtheOA depends on which spec. I teach the new spec which has 4 external units (out of a total of 13) The results from the two externals my students sit each year can make a big difference to overall grades.

Update - just heard from school dd got DDD* She’s over the moon!

That's great! She must be on the old spec then. Excellent news. What''s she doing next?

Thank you twins She's waiting for her A Level English result and will then probably go to Birmingham to study English.
