Hi Guys,
Want to sit AS need to select exam board, any advice.
One thing that may swing it, are the resources available for that board.
Thanks,
Pete

If you're looking for resources(e.g. past papers and specifications), I suggest AQA.

Edexcel. Loads of resources like Examsolutions. Plenty of past papers.
C1 C2 S1 or C1 C2 D1 should be good for self teaching.

My school switched from Edexcel to AQA as AQA papers tend to regurgitate the same sorts of questions every year.

I used to root for AQA because of the repetitive questions but the resources available are plenty for Edexcel, for example, there are a huge number of Edexcel past papers on Physics and Maths Tutor

I would say that the most resources are for edexcel. Tons of resources for edexcel but AQA is a good exam board - the one I'm on an I think it's pretty good.

Why do you suggest to avoid MEI?
Why do you suggest to avoid MEI?
no sequencial logic, vital bits missed out, calculator topics done as non calculator, incocistent marking schemes and idiotic markers, vector planes done at C4 without proper treatment to name a few.

I've taught others but this is the best for self-study.

What's up with OCR?
What's up with OCR?
- They aren't known to recycle questions as much and their exam papers jumped in difficulty by a lot since 2013 so not much relevant practice available
- If you have the misfortune to do their Statistic paper - that's a deciding factor enough to stay away from ocr
