What was checked

Eton’s Admissions Booklet (December 2012) prints the school’s “definitive 2011 results”: 1,944 A* and 635 A grades of 2,737 GCSE/IGCSE entries (71.03% and 94.23%), which its Cumulative statistics row prints as 71.0% and 94.2%. The school’s earlier statistics sheet counts 1,945 A* and 641 A grades of 2,745 entries. Compared row by row: Italian A*/A/B 11/1/1 → 1/0/0; Chinese A*/A 5/1 → 10/0; Design & Technology A*/A 15/5 → 16/4; Drama A*/A/B/C 4/11/5/2 → 5/10/6/1; History A*/A 114/61 → 115/60; Physics A*/A 170/41 → 171/40; totals A* 1,945 → 1,944, A 641 → 635, C 21 → 20, entries 2,745 → 2,737. Its counts give 99.16% A*–B. The owner decided on 29 Sep 2026 that the definitive table is the year’s result; the earlier sheet stays on record as the superseded version.

Can I compare it?

A*, A*–A and A*–B: left out of comparisons: measured differently.
