Purpose

1 The success rate tri-files are used for generating the FE Success Rates analyses as defined in the FE Success Rates Methodology 2004/05.

Detailed definition

2 This dataset is part of the Success Rates Files collection.

3 In order to produce the FE Success Rates a set of five tri-files are required covering collections of learner data for different years.

4 The means of generating the tri-files varies from year to year depending on the collection type and variations in the format. The detail of the generation of the tri-files is covered by Success Rates Tri-files Production Data Definition.

5 The table below shows the fields in the Success Rate Tri-files. Fields that are from the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) are defined in the ILR Specification. The hyperlink will take you to the ILR page where you can view the specification for the relevant teaching year.
