Cambridge Technicals (2012) Level 2 Science: How does grading work for this qualification?

Learners will be awarded a Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction* qualification grade by the aggregation of points gained through the successful achievement of individual units. The number of points available is dependent on the credit value of the unit and the grade achieved.

For example:

A learner achieving a 5 credit unit at pass would gain: 5 credits x 5 points = 25 points.

A learner achieving a 10 credit unit at merit would gain: 10 credits 6 6 points = 60 points
