Thanks for sharing this article :)

This was an interesting read, but I agree that Music and Extension Maths students are achieving more top bands. This is because most students who I know that did Music or Extension Maths got Band 6's, but I was surprised to see the sharp rise in Music and Maths Extension subjects on the graph.
