 STATISTICS FOR THE WINTER 1991 AND SUMMER 1992 EXAMINATIONSThis booklet contains statistics which describe the outcomes of
the GCSE and GCE A/AS examinations, Summer 1992 and the GCSE
examinations, Winter 1991 conducted by the Northern Ireland
Schools Examinations and Assessment Council.  The results of
GCSE examinations, analysed by subject and gender, are presented
in the form of 7 grades, A to G in descending order and
candidates, who fail to reach the minimum standard, are
ungraded.  Similarly, the results of GCE A and AS examinations,
analysed by subject and gender, are classified into 5 grades of
pass, lettered A to E, in descending order of merit and one
grade, lettered N, denotes that the candidate has not quite
achieved a standard justifying the award of grade E.  There is
also an unclassified category.
