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 249 + Pre-U D1–D3 86 = 335 of 396 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 132 + Pre-U D1–D2 56 = 188 of 396 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 290 + Pre-U D1–M2 92 = 382 of 396 entries

The records it is built from
