This table is printed within the qualification specification, and is provided below to illustrate these changes.  \nMaking the adjustment to the grade points table provides qualification outcomes that are fair and have equal value to other Level 2 qualifications. This means your qualification will retain its value and you will be able to cite it confidently when applying to further study or employment.  \n\n| Qualification Grade | Points now required | Previous points required |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| L1P | 30 | 30 |\n| L1M | 44 | 43 |\n| L1D | 58 | 56 |\n| L2P | 72 | 69 |\n| L2M | 95 | 82 |\n| L2D | 105 | 95 |\n| L2D* | 114 | 108 |\n\nWe realise that you may have a college place offered to you based on the previous points table. If this is the case, we advise you to use this letter to explain to the admissions office that Pearson has adjusted the qualification grade points table, and that your component assessment grades are accurate and reflect your achievement of the criteria that was being assessed.  \nIf you have any concerns or queries, please speak to your teacher in the first instance. They can also contact us on your behalf, if needed.  \nWe wish you every success for the future.  \nBTEC Assessment","cbCail3RoANApNOx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail3RoANApNOx","pdf",55591,"English","# Changes to BTEC Tech Award Grade Points\n## Grade Points Comparison Table\n## Advice for College Admissions","[{\"question\":\"Why did Pearson change the grade points table for BTEC Tech Awards?\",\"answer\":\"Pearson adjusted the table to ensure that qualification outcomes remain fair and hold equal value to other Level 2 qualifications.\"},{\"question\":\"What should students do if their college offer was based on the previous points?\",\"answer\":\"Students are advised to use this official letter to explain the situation to their college admissions office, clarifying that the change was made by Pearson.\"},{\"question\":\"Who should students contact if they have concerns about these changes?\",\"answer\":\"Students should first speak with their teacher, who can then contact Pearson on their behalf if further assistance is required.\"}]","Changes to Tech Awards Qualifications Points Calculation | PDF"]
