For students whose GCSE Physics was grade A (grade 7 or 8 using today's scale) then about a third of students achieved a grade B, about a quarter got a grade C and about a quarter ended with D or E grade.
Only 15% got A grade or better (see the diagram)
This normal progression is probably lower than you thought and should be considered when deciding whether to do A level Physics.
So Physics is hard - but an A-Level in Physics significantly boosts future earnings, university access, and enables diverse career success. Physics cultivates critical analytical skills, leading to higher payโespecially for womenโand opens doors to competitive degrees and high-skilled jobs across various industries.
