May I strongly advise against looking at pass rates, they are really likely to mislead you. Did you know, for instance, that the pass rate for resits is lower than the first time pass rate so, although quoting the first time pass rate appears to be quoting the lower rate, it's actually quoting the higher? Also, have you noticed that every school claims to be getting better than average pass rates? Who is dragging the averages down, then?
