And perhaps most important of all, two years later when the exam results came through, the pupils who had been put on these field trials who were in the lowest performing groups had jumped right to the top — in fact, pretty much at the top decile of performance in terms of GCSE's, which is the British marking system.
И, пожалуй, самое главное, спустя два года на экзаменах школьники, участвовашие в пилотных проектах, и показывавшие худшие результаты в начале, оказались в верхней части списка, то есть в первых 10% по результатам экзаменов GCSE, это британская система оценок.
