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* or equiv.: A level A* 287 + Pre-U D1–D2 64 = 351 of 923 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 774 + Pre-U D1–M2 114 = 888 of 923 entries
