Total number of entries include pupils who were absent, whose results are pending
and results which are ungraded or unclassified.</p><p><strong>[2]</strong> Discounting
has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once and only
one entry is counted in these circumstances. Prior to 2014, best entry discounting,
where the pupil’s best result is used was in place in performance tables. From 2014
onwards, first entry rules were introduced, where a pupil’s first entry in that subject
is used in performance tables. For more information on discounting and early entry,
