1:50Now PlayingThe number of top A-Level grades has increased marginally, as the most popular subjects have been revealed.
Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their exam results on Thursday - with the number achieving A* grades up 0.4% from last year, to 9.3%, and the number of A*-A grades up 0.6% from last year, reaching 27.8%.
It was the first year the entire UK returned to pre-pandemic approaches to grading, exam authorities said. While England returned last year, Northern Ireland and Wales only did so for the first time in 2024.
While the top ten most popular subjects didn't change, STEM subjects surged in popularity.
