•
Less people do the board (42 schools do eduqas A-level biology out of about 32,000 in the country), so grades could be easier to achieve
•
PPQs repetitive, there seems to be a very finite amount of them out there. Downside to this is different boards are used with us on PPQs which isn't helpful.
•
Wider reading is useful and required (a bit of a con if you don't enjoy the subject enough).
•
Very few resources are reliable, I've found the blended learning platform to work for me, but I've been told that official Eduqas resources have mistakes that haven't ever been corrected (this is also in the powerpoints they give out)
•
Very specific mark schemes
•
Very few questions are not application of knowledge, and aren't too specific on what points you need to make.
•
Very few relevant PPQs, which means they often end up being reused in topic tests or revision (the ones we use haven't been updated much from June 2009-2011 exams).
•
WJEC PPQs are similar, but apparently entirely different content and mark schemes (the blended learning pages for each are basically the same, and we end up using WJEC questions, OCR, even AQA, which is a bit useless).
