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 431 + Pre-U D1–D3 307 = 738 of 914 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 228 + Pre-U D1–D2 192 = 420 of 914 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 504 + Pre-U D1–M2 362 = 866 of 914 entries

The records it is built from

A*–A or equiv.: basis: Weighted by entries across A level and Pre-U
A*–A or equiv.: note: A level: Eton’s own 2017 A2 and Pre-U tables give 914 graded awards: 542 A-level entries and 372 Principal Subject Pre-U awards, excluding nine PUSC Italian short-course awards as in 2018. The annual report’s rounded A-level shares, 42% A* and 80% A*–A, agree with the table’s 42.1% and 79.5%. Its 98% matches the table’s A*–C (98.2%), not A*–B (93.0%), so that line’s definition is not settled; the table is used and the difference stays visible.
