This year’s A-level results were significantly lower than they have been in previous years – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing (students, don’t panic!).
Around 36.4% of A-levels were A* and A, compared to 2021′s 44.8%.
But, in 2019 just 25.4% of grades were A* and A – meaning this year’s results hit a middle ground between the two.
The overall pass rate for England, Wales and Northern Ireland was at 98.4% – again, a stat which is in between the low 2019 levels and high 2021 levels.
T-levels, the new vocational qualification in England, also saw a pass rate of 92.2% among the 1,029 students.
