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 573 + Pre-U D1–D3 147 = 720 of 920 entries
  • A* or equiv.: A level A* 256 + Pre-U D1–D2 80 = 336 of 920 entries
  • A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 683 + Pre-U D1–M2 183 = 866 of 920 entries
