Consistent at the published precision · logged
Eton’s 2016/17 annual report prints 42% A* and 80% A*–A for A level; its 2017 A2 table gives 42.1% and 79.5%, the same figures before rounding.
- A*, A*–A: A-level subject entries, rounded to whole percentages · outside the A-level series
What was checked
Eton’s 2017 A2 table prints its whole-table percentages to one decimal place: 42.1% A* and 79.5% A*–A. Its grade counts, the only whole numbers that reproduce every printed percentage, are 228 A* and 203 A grades of 542 entries (42.07% and 79.52%). Rounded half up to whole numbers these are 42% and 80%, the annual report’s figures. The figures agree, so the table’s more precise figures are used and the report’s stay on record.
Different groups counted · logged
Eton’s 2017 A-level A*–B share is 93.0%, from its A2 table. The 98% its 2016/17 annual report prints beside A*–B is the table’s A*–C share (98.2%), rounded.
- A*–B: A-level entries at A*–C: the A2 table’s A*–C share (532 of 542), rounded · outside the A-level series
What was checked
Eton’s 2017 A2 table prints 93 (93.0%) as its A*–B share: 504 A*, A or B grades of 542 entries (92.99%). The annual report prints 98% for A*–B. That figure is reproduced exactly, at its printed precision, by the table’s A*–C share, 532 of 542 (98.15%), and by no A*–B share. So the two count different groups of grades. The table’s 93.0% enters the A-level A*–B comparison; the report’s 98% stays on record, labelled as the A*–C share.
Can I compare it?
- A* and A*–A: left out of comparisons: measured differently.
