The pass rate for GCSE maths resits in England has fallen, after more students had to take their exams again.
November's exam results show 22.9% of maths entries were marked at a grade 4, a standard pass, or above, down from 24.9% in 2022 and 26.9% in 2019.
However, the pass rate for GCSE English resits rose to 40.3% - up from 38% and 32.3% respectively.
Under-18s in England must retake GCSE English and maths if they did not get at least a grade 4.
The overall GCSE pass rate fell last summer, when grades in England were brought back in line with pre-pandemic levels.
Exams sat in November, which are typically resits, were marked on the same basis.
Ahead of the November resits, colleges told the BBC they were having to expand class sizes and hire exam halls to cope with a rising number of pupils taking compulsory GCSE resits.
