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 473 + Pre-U D1–D3 209 = 682 of 878 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 239 + Pre-U D1–D2 126 = 365 of 878 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 584 + Pre-U D1–M2 250 = 834 of 878 entries
