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 538 + Pre-U D1–D3 185 = 723 of 868 entries
- A* or equiv.: A level A* 303 + Pre-U D1–D2 124 = 427 of 868 entries
- A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 643 + Pre-U D1–M2 202 = 845 of 868 entries
The records it is built from
