How we built it

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 657 + Pre-U D1–D3 103 = 760 of 921 entries
  • A* or equiv.: A level A* 286 + Pre-U D1–D2 64 = 350 of 921 entries
  • A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 772 + Pre-U D1–M2 114 = 886 of 921 entries
