How the figure is calculated

The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.

A*–A or equiv.: A level A*–A 680 + Pre-U D1–D3 81 = 761 of 912 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 334 + Pre-U D1–D2 55 = 389 of 912 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 784 + Pre-U D1–M2 97 = 881 of 912 entries
