What was checked

Eton’s Admissions Brochure 2013–14 prints the school’s “definitive 2012 results”: 287 A* and 373 A grades of 803 A-level entries (35.74% and 82.19%), which its Cumulative statistics row prints as 35.7% and 82.2%. The school’s earlier statistics sheet counts 286 A* and 371 A grades of 801 entries. Compared row by row: Economics A* 8 → 9 (78 → 79 entries); History A 34 → 35 (71 → 72 entries); History of Art A/B 9/4 → 10/3; totals A* 286 → 287, A 371 → 373, B 115 → 114, entries 801 → 803. Its counts give 96.39% 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owner decided on 29 Sep 2026 that the definitive table is the year’s result; the earlier sheet stays on record as the superseded version.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.
