These will offer opportunities to achieve Pass, Merit and Distinction criteria and will be tracked through the year to form one final grade for each unit. At the end of year 2 an overall course grade will be calculated ranging from PPP to D*D*D*, giving UCAS points in the same way as A Level grades.
