The bad news is that the number of top grades awarded in business as a subject is relatively lower compared to other A-levels. Across all exam boards last year, there were just over 30,000 candidates. Table 1 shows how many top grades were awarded across all exam boards.
In terms of market share, the AQA board has just over 50%, and so when applying the same percentages, to get an A*–B grade you need to be in the top 45% of students. This means that, out of just over 15,000 students, you need to be aiming to be ranked as shown in Table 2.
