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 346 + Pre-U D1–D3 263 = 609 of 741 entries
A* or equiv.: A level A* 212 + Pre-U D1–D2 201 = 413 of 741 entries
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 412 + Pre-U D1–M2 284 = 696 of 741 entries
