GCSE Subject Residuals

• A residual is the difference between a pupils
  result in one subject and the average of all
  their results
• When calculated nationally, a residual highlights
  the differences in difficulty between subjects
• The comparison of residuals for a county or
  school with the national residuals shows the
  relative attainment of pupils in different
  subjects
• Variations due to differences in ability are
  removed, since results are compared with other
  results of the same pupil
