    Hi
    I'm planning on studying AS politics externally this September, could anyone recommend which exam board is the most "easiest"(lol) AQA/Edexcel/OCR?

    Thanks

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    i think it would be really difficult for anyone to say which was the best board as most people have only used one exam board for the subject as opposed to trying them all out and saying which one was the easiest out of them all.

    with that said, i was on edexcel and it was a good 2 years of studying govt and politics i dont know if its the best or easiest board as its the only one i've used but i personally enjoyed it and didnt have any problems.

    however, i dont think any of the other boards would have been easier or harder per se, otherwise most students would only use that particular board, it depends on the content and what aspect of politics you want to learn about so i'd advise you just research into the topic areas that each board offers and decide for yourself which one you'd enjoy learning the most
