Eton’s 2020 figures of 49.2 / 83.3 / 97.4% count A-level and Pre-U entries together (868 entries), not A level alone.

A*, A*–A, A*–B: A-level subject entries

What was checked

The record held 49.2 / 83.3 / 97.4% (A* / A*–A / A*–B) as A-level results. Each figure is reproduced exactly, at its printed precision, by Eton’s A-level table (666 entries) and Pre-U table (202 entries) added together, with Pre-U Distinction 1 and 2 counted as A*, Distinction 3 as A and Merit 1 and 2 as B: A* 49.19%; A*–A 83.29%; A*–B 97.35%. The A-level table alone gives A* 45.50%, A*–A 80.78%, A*–B 96.55%. The two sets count different groups of entries, so both are shown, each labelled, and only the A-level table enters the A-level comparison. Eton’s 2019/20 annual report prints 80.8% A*–A and 96.5% A*–B for A level, the A-level table’s figures. Grades in 2020 were centre-assessed, so the year stays out of comparisons. The two tables’ 666 and 202 entries are the sums of their printed grade totals.

Can I compare it?

A*, A*–A and A*–B: left out of comparisons: covers a different group from the school-wide series; measured differently; unclear which group it counts; 2020–21, when exams were cancelled and schools assessed grades.
