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 384 + Pre-U D1–D3 274 = 658 of 749 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 221 + Pre-U D1–D2 214 = 435 of 749 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 427 + Pre-U D1–M2 286 = 713 of 749 entries
