The top line of figures for each subject is 2020 grades based on Teacher Assessment (TA).
The second line of figures is the JCQ results based on the OFQUAL algorithm.
The third line of figures is the 2019 exam results as collated by JCQ.
These figures for 2020 are only provisional as of August 2020. The UK results (England, Wales and Northern Ireland combined, based upon Teacher Assessments alone have not yet been released by JCQ who need more time to pull the data together. (25/08/2020)
One would expect the Teacher Assessment data and the Algorithm data to have the same number of candidates for each subject but there appear to be discrepancies for a few subjects.
