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* 327 + Pre-U D1–D2 101 = 428 of 938 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 739 + Pre-U D1–M2 168 = 907 of 938 entries
