Our data expert Conal Hanna reports that the cutoff to make the top 10 schools list has continued to intensify in 2017.

It has never been harder to crack into the top 10, according to results dating back to 2010, and likely to go back much further.

This year's cut-off was a success rate (number of band 6s/E4s as a percentage of entries) of 48.94 per cent, compared to 46.52 per cent last year.

Competition to make the top 20 eased off slightly, while the cut off for the top 100 was almost identical to last year's decade high.
