This interactive visualisation shows information on subject combinations and outcomes for A level subjects taken by students in England. It covers the years from 2018 to 2024. You can explore students' grades for different subject combinations and explore the most frequent combinations of subjects.
The 'Grade distributions' tab shows students' grades for different subject combinations. You can select a combination of up to three subjects and explore how students' grades in one subject relate to their grades in other subjects. For example, you can find out:
- how many students achieved A* in mathematics, biology and chemistry
- what grades did students who achieved C or above in geography, achieve in history?
The 'Subject combinations' tab shows the most frequent combinations of subjects. You can choose to see the individual subjects that were most frequently taken or the most frequently taken combinations of two or three subjects. You can also select a subject to see which other subjects were mostly frequently taken together with it. For example, you can find out:
- which two subjects were most frequently taken together
- which subjects were most frequently taken together with physics
