BBC News - A-level passes rise amid university places pressure

BBC News - A-level passes rise amid university places pressure: "A-level passes have risen for the 29th year in a row as teenagers face an intense battle for university places.

The overall pass rate is up slightly, but for the first time in 15 years there has been no increase in the total proportion getting A or A* grades.

Just over 27% of entries scored these grades, with a small rise in the proportion awarded A*."
