Student Performance Analysis

Various ranges of points are shown and the numbers of pupils who achieved points totals within those ranges. Again a breakdown is shown according to gender, including the average points per candidate.
A/S level grades are calculated at exactly half the value of full A level grades.

It is possible to use these figures for comparison between different years, but again do not forget to consider the indicator of ability for each year compared.

N.B. Schools that enter candidates for a higher than average number of examinations are almost by default going to do better, if judged by this method alone, for their pupils will tend to acquire more points.
