This page contains information on discount codes and point scores for qualifications included in school and college performance measures.
We use discount codes to ensure that a single course of study is credited only once in school and college performance measures. The discounting guidance describes how we do this.
We use performance points to compare qualifications of different levels, sizes and grading structures. The points assigned to each qualification are shown in the point scores document. For more information on how performance points are determined, see our separate guidance on performance points.
