BTEC Grade Calculation

The BTEC grading system uses a percentage-based calculation to determine final grades. For Health and Social Care, the calculation is based on the following components:

Unit 1: 30% of total grade
Unit 2: 30% of total grade
Unit 3: 40% of total grade

Formula:

Final Grade = (Unit 1 × 0.3) + (Unit 2 × 0.3) + (Unit 3 × 0.4)

After calculating the total percentage, the grade is determined based on the following boundaries:

Grade Boundaries

Percentage Range	Grade
85% - 100%	Distinction*
70% - 84%	Distinction
60% - 69%	Merit
50% - 59%	Pass
Below 50%	Fail

*Note: Some BTEC specifications may have different grade boundaries. Always check your specific course documentation for exact requirements.

Example Calculation

Let's say you scored:

Unit 1: 75%
Unit 2: 68%
Unit 3: 82%

Using the formula:

Final Grade = (75 × 0.3) + (68 × 0.3) + (82 × 0.4)

= 22.5 + 20.4 + 32.8

= 75.7%

Based on the grade boundaries, a 75.7% score would result in a Distinction grade.
