This page contains information about qualifications, discount codes and point scores for the school and college performance tables.

We use discount codes to group qualifications with similar content together in the school and college performance tables so that we don’t count similar qualifications twice. The discounting guidance describes the rules for how we do this.

We give a point value to all qualifications in the school and college performance tables so that you can compare qualifications of a different level, size and grading system. These point scores are shown in the point scores document.
