Published sources differ. Read the source notes before using these figures.

Publications differ. The recovered A-level/A-level-only table differs from this inherited headline. Do not silently replace, average, or assume Pre-U equivalence. Both publications may be shown, but this ambiguous inherited headline should not enter like-for-like A-level comparison until its population is established. All three inherited values are exactly reproduced at one decimal place by pooling the recovered A-level awards with Pre-U/PUSC awards: A* equivalent uses D1+D2; A*–A equivalent uses D1–D3; A*–B equivalent uses D1–M2. This is a source-based arithmetic inference, not an assertion that the original publication printed the formula. It supports excluding this inherited combined-equivalent population from A-level-only comparisons. Open the publication

Check note: The recovered A-level/A2-only table differs from this inherited headline. Do not silently replace, average, or assume Pre-U equivalence. Both publications may be shown, but this ambiguous inherited headline should not enter like-for-like A-level comparison until its population is established. All three inherited values are exactly reproduced at one decimal place by pooling the recovered A-level awards with Pre-U/PUSC awards: A* equivalent uses D1+D2; A*–A equivalent uses D1–D3; A*–B equivalent uses D1–M2.
