All: for all students.
BQ: for the bottom quartile of total score.
TQ: for the top quartile of total score.
BQ/All: percentage of no attempts for the bottom quartile compared to all no attempts (for example, for 2)38 for pupils of 10 years, 60.0% of the “no attempts” were from the bottom quartile of students).
PC: percentage of correct answers.
