What grades do I need for DDD in a BTEC Extended Diploma?

DDD requires 216 Pearson points on a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma. Add the points from your confirmed units, subtract them from 216, then check what grades your remaining units need to supply.

Can this planner work for DDM as well as DDD?

Yes. Choose DDM as the target and the planner uses the 196-point boundary instead of the 216-point DDD boundary.

Should I enter provisional BTEC grades?

Use confirmed grades where possible. Provisional marks can still help with planning, but your final Pearson points may change after marking, moderation or external results.
