    Well, I can only speak for AQA for the sciences but I do think the're quite good. Whenever I have done past papers the mark schemes have nearly always been clear and consistent. They seem to have the best laid out papers over all subjects too, for me anyway.

    Don't know much about respectability though.:confused:

    To be honest, there isn't an exam board better than each other. They all have their own flaws. Just try to get the best grades in them.
