Regulation 5 Determination of information

(1)

This regulation applies to the determination of the information specified in the Schedule.

(2)

Subject to paragraph (4) if a student was entered for two or more examinations in the same subject in the same academic year only the examination in which he achieved the higher or highest grade shall be taken into account.

(3)

In the case of an examination leading to the award of the GCSE in two subjects, a student shall be included only once in the number of students entered for the examination and taken into account only once in calculating the relevant percentages, but each grade awarded to him shall be treated as having been awarded in a separate subject.

(4)

In the case of a student who was entered for both GCE “A” level and GCE “AS” examinations in the same subject, only the GCE “A” level examination result shall be taken into account.

(5)

In calculating the number of GCE “A” level examinations for which a pupil is entered or for which he has achieved a grade, one GCE “AS” examination shall be treated as the equivalent of half a GCE “A” level examination.

(6)

For the purpose of determining point scores in GCE “A” level and GCE “AS” examinations, the following grades of achievement equate to the following points:

GCE “A” Level: grade A = 10 points; grade B = 8 points; grade C = 6 points; grade D = 4 points; and grade E = 2 points;
GCE “AS”: grade A = 5 points; grade B = 4 points; grade C = 3 points; grade D = 2 points; and grade E = 1 point.
