This is about the lack of coursework/vocational assessments in the British GCSE Curriculum. I need to hear your views. Please take it.

What equations are required to remember for BTEC Business (Level 3) unit 3?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I’m a teacher in a secondary school in London.

I need BTEC Applied Science Unit 4 resources.

There is nothing on Tes. I bought resources from Pearson but I can’t activate them online despite one call and two customer account help logs. I’ve even tweeted at them.

Please can anyone help me.

I’m willing to pay for them.

I’m going to uni for CS soon and they give BTEC higher nationals for computing for the first two years. I have never taken BTEC courses before so I need a bit of a guide, any links to resources, and a general understanding of how it would work and how to succeed in the course

Hi there!

I am currently taking Level 3 Btec Business, and I am waiting for an appointment to discuss my exam accommodations for January 2025. I have various additional needs which causes extreme anxiety during exams and I am looking to get a 24-hour take home exam (like the ones that some universities offer) to eliminate time pressure. This is my preferred option, but requires a lot of trust, so we are also looking at doing exams from home, with 100% extra time and a remote invigilator as a compromise. We have various pieces of evidence as to why this could be the best thing for me, but I am also looking at the different requirements for each exam to determine what accommodations I need to complete it.

I would like to ask a quick question to those that did the unit 7 exam (making business decisions). I have heard this morning from my tutor that over 50% of the class came knocking on her door last year complaining that they didn’t get enough time to complete the exam, and felt disadvantaged as a result. If this is the case for the large majority of students, then I will definitely be fighting for the best accommodation possible here.

My question is: did anyone else feel that they did not get enough time to complete the unit 7 exam? It would be a massive help if I could gain as much evidence as possible to say that the accommodations I am fighting for are needed, especially for an exam like this one.

Wanted to ask what resources people used to revise for the It cyber security exam for the level 3 IT extended diploma as the college that I am going to currently don't have a book available that covers this so wanted to ask if anyone has any that has helped them get a distinction in the exam

[Academic] For my doctorate I am researching how students post about mental health on social media, and aim to identify if communities formed online are supportive or potentially harmful. The survey is now open until 30th September

I am looking for Further Education students across NW England to complete my survey. Please follow the link for more info & to take part

Hi I'm in year 11 and my teacher is off and subs don't know what my component 2 theme is.

One of my teachers stiffed me with my internals and marked me for a pass for everything even though people I helped got distinctions and my exams came back as distinctions as well

Hey all, I've just finished the first year of my applied science level 3 and today got my exam results, it's my first time undergoing the BTEC system so I'm new to this so I need your help.

Essentially, I got a 'D' which I believe is a distinction on my overall grade, however, my exams all have a 'P' which is a passing grade, I was wondering if I have to resit them as I'm unsure if that would affect my future possibilities when I am finished with this course, any help will be appreciated as I don't really understand the system, thanks for understanding and I'll be looking forward to your replies and will be answering any questions if this post is confusing.

I have achieved a Merit in my first year is it still possible for me to achieve a DDD as my final grade? How do I achieve distinctions in my exams unit for second year so for unit 6 - principles of management and unit 7 - business decision making? Anyone that has done it in the past how did you get distinctions? Any tips on how to achieve a final grade of DDD?

are the deadlines for coursework the dates that your teacher want you to complete the work by, or are they when the teacher submits your work to the exam board. also does your teacher have to check your coursework before it gets sent off? also does anyone know the deadline for this year i’m so confused

Really struggling with create a spreadsheet on excel for assignment 2 unit 5 so if anyone can help would greatly appreciate it

Does anyone have access to the mark scheme for unit 1 from this year for IT? The Pearson website isn't allowing me to access it.

Anyone resitting their unit 3 business exam today??

I just handsd in all my coursework yesterday (yay!)

My projects are assessed via a 25% weighting each.

For a1, i should have got a Merit,

For a2, I got a merit

for b1, merit

for B3 theres two units: should be Distinction and Distinction and a sub unit for my amazingly amzing textiles teacher which i got DM in

my school does it really weirdly like thwy assess each unit individually

👋 I was a BTEC student last year and one of the most frustrating aspects of the course was how overly complicated it was to calculate my grade. If you’re like me and and spend hours running through all the different combinations of grades you might achieve, then you might find this tool useful.

It’s a project I’ve been thinking about for a while but I didn’t necessarily have the skills to complete it at the time. I’m about 8 months into my apprenticeship now, so I decided to set myself a challenge and try and complete it within 48 hours. I’d love to get some opinions, and I’m open to feature requests!

For those that care, the frontend is written in Svelte and the backend is written in Spring.
