The figure for A grades is 25.9% not 60%.

The basis of grading has changed since I (and many of us here) took the exams. The principle now is that if you get the mark you get the grade, logical I'd have thought, rather than an arbitrary decision that only so many get As, Bs or Cs no matter how well they've done.

And if your children have achieved the grades they need to go to University, congratulations. May they have a wonderful and fullfilling time there.
