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 491 + Pre-U D1–D3 185 = 676 of 881 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 244 + Pre-U D1–D2 123 = 367 of 881 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 600 + Pre-U D1–M2 229 = 829 of 881 entries

A*–A or equiv.: basis: Weighted by entries across A level and Pre-U
A*–A or equiv.: note: A level: Eton’s signed A-level table and principal Pre-U grade counts establish 881 graded awards. Its annual report gives a different A-level headline that numerically matches rounded combined results, but does not establish its population. This derived comparison uses the original principal-subject counts, excluding four Italian Pre-U short-course awards; the source disagreement remains visible.
