Footnotes
- In these statistics AS levels count for 25% of Level 3 and can be aggregated, so that four AS levels or two AS levels and one A level (which counts as 50% of Level 3) are counted as achievement of Level 3.
- The age 19 figures in this chart correspond with the same national cohort figures provided in the sections above. Specifically, they relate to those aged 19 in 2017/18, as this is the year when those aged 25 in 2023/24 were 19-years old.
- There were alternative methods of awarding qualifications during the Covid-19 pandemic when traditional exams and assessments were cancelled. In 2020, centre assessed grades (CAGs) (opens in a new tab) were used and in 2021, teacher assessed grades (TAGs) (opens in a new tab). There were also some adaptations to exams in 2022 (opens in a new tab)to ensure fairness for students.
