GCSEs subject by subject
The table below shows the percentage of candidates getting the various grades in each General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) subject. The rows in grey are the 2000 figures, for comparison. GCSEs are graded from A* down to G, with U (unclassified) being a fail. In science, students can take biology, chemistry and physics separately, or a double award, equal to two GCSEs, covering all three subjects, or a single award that covers all three but less fully.
