    Default Best/Easiest exam board?

    In my school every subject is AQA apart from maths (edexcel) and geography (OCR)

    I personally think OCR are the best exam board their questions are so clear and understandable and grade boundaries are usually quite reasonable.

    Probably OCR.

    I never used to like edexcel. Overcomplicated things.

    superhappy.

    I can't recall omfg, but one of them is much easier for languages because the other 2 (or other 1??) gives the options "Yes / No / Not in text" and the not in text bit is apparently confusing and obviously lessens your chance of getting it right anyway [via a guess].

    I will go find what exam board I went with for languages, 'cause they didn't do the 'not in text' thing hence why our school stuff chose it.

    O apparently it's edexcel........ I vaguely recalled OCR being the better one tho hm idk.

    Oh that's a shame Well I did French in yr 9 with OCR and got a grade 5 or w.e and I don't remember having "Not in text" so I think it's just AQA LOL.

    tbh they ask really stupid questions in aqa french. Like one question came across the other day was a magazine where people write in with their problems and some woman gives them advice. So the problem was for this girl that her boyfriend was black and people give her dirty looks lol, and the advice given was "hide" or "dump him" wtf lol

    I've only really had *That I can remember* AQA, OCR and edexcel.

    AQA seemed pretty simple from what I can remember

    I'm not sure if this is true but shouldn't all exam boards set exams to the same standard..?

    a lot of my gcses were actually igcses so they were by the cambridge exam board

    add maths and my a level maths is OCR which seems pretty nice. Had edexcel for gcse though
    used to fix usertitles n stuff

    How can you guys actually compare exam boards? Unless you guys have retaken your GCSEs/A-Levels with another exam board. We used AQA for everything except for RE which was WJEC(?). I got an A* in RE, but that doesn't mean it's any easier than my AQA exams, because they're different exams...

    I found AQA nice and straightforward really, and offered loads of choice in my Maths modules (just a shame I didn't get to pick the ones I preferred )
