(a) the average mark attained by students sitting the first examination in each subject in the academic year 2009/10.

Please provide the information based on the actual marks attained in the respective examinations and not on ‘compensated’ or ‘capped’ marks.

Please exclude data related to resit examinations taken at a later exam. Where, for example, the first examination was taken in May 2010 and there was a resit examination in August 2010 the average mark should be based on the marks attained by all students taking the exam in May, whether or not they were sitting the examination for the first time or resitting.

Again, as above, please base calculations on the actual marks attained and limited to the first examination.
