The ministry of education said overall, candidates were successful in 69.9 percent of subjects sat; for students in schools, this was 73.0%. 
Nine in-school candidates did not sit examinations they registered for; a further 91 did not pass any subjects they sat. However, approximately one-half of these students, 45 of them, were only sitting one subject. There were in fact 128 in-school candidates who sat one subject, and 83 of them were successful. 
These usually are students who are jump-starting the process, taking subjects in 3rd or 4th form. 
In the main, in-school candidates passed 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 subjects, with the numbers of them doing so being 171, 164, 173, 144, and 135 respectively. 
At the high-flying end of the spectrum, 113 candidates sat 10 or more subjects; 89 of them were 
successful in all that they sat.
