Provisional figures for the number of entries for GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications in England this summer have been published.
The Ofqual data, submitted by schools and colleges, shows entries up to April 20, meaning final entries could vary.
Small rises in overall entries at GCSE and A-level reflect increases in secondary school-age pupils nationally, while AS-level entries continue to fall following their decoupling from A-levels.
However, movement in entries at subject level offer greater insight into their popularity among pupils.
