What's the exam board OCR like?

So I'm starting sixth form soon, and I am doing maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. I was just wondering if the fact I'm doing OCR changes anything, like if they're renowned for being easy/hard or whatever and how they compare to the other exam boards.
Thanks

You will never know what OCR is like. They aint got a personality. They an exam board

Didn't do OCR for any of those subjects, but we did have OCR as our exam board for Psychology at sixth-form. It was a bitch.

Okay then...




Well, sounds like I'll be having fun then if it was a bitch

Not in that way. Good luck, though.

Their grade boundaries are usually higher (in my experience) because fewer people take this board. For example OCR Computing boundary was 71/80 for an A* for a long time because fewer people took this exam and they did better. OCR tends to have some hatred for the sciences at A-level and maths (apart from MEI) for various reasons.

Well considering the A* boundary dropped by 10 marks this year it is high.

In my opinion, OCR have the nicest font and the best quality paper, and their additional answer booklets are the best

But on a more serious note, I think they're fine, apart from my whole school year's ICT coursework being deducted 20 marks each because the school was accused of cheating, which it wasn't. That said, I guess they have to be serious about things like that, it's still annoying though.

In my experience, for science, their grade boundaries are fair; they have to be, you shouldn't be at a dis/advantage because you pick a certain board, they're all standardised so it's no more difficult to get a certain grade on the different boards, well that's what they try to do anyway

ocr chemistry was horrible but that might just me being bad at chemistry . . .
just revise hard
dont slack

Well I plan to revise lots anyway, if I'll actually do it or not is another story

Well it's nice to know there's a nice font thanks for the input all

If you're doing Salters B for chemistry, run away and cry now, it's brutal but other than that apparently they're okay, though as someone above said OCR psych is a bitch
