Which exam board is the best ? ? ?

I know this is really random....
...but which Exam Board do you guys think is the best?

AFter having done my GCSEs, I personally feel as though AQA is the best as they provide so much help, e.g. the online specification for science which tells you everything you need to know. Their exam papers are also more professional, and the Top 5 Scheme is encouraging.

AQA even though the papers were um... strange to say the least this year!

They gave me A*s in both english lang and lit which I never thought was possible! They also gave me an A* in German when I completely screwed up both listening and speaking. They gave me an A in a subject that I spent no more than 20 hours work on in the whole two years (self taught).

Go AQA :biggrin:

Very true. But they are harsher with the grades.

AQA, OCR and WJEC were banned from Hong Kong because they were too easy.

Hong Kong is very proud of producing "science-minded people" so it was compulsary to take CIE IGCSEs for maths, science and english (i know... which is an art but nvm).

I think CIE is the best because I know someone who got into LSE law school from my school with 5A and 5B of which half were CIE IGCSEs.

Apparently the transition from AQA GCSEs to Edexcel A levels is harder than that of Edexcel GCSEs to AQA A levels. So say you took AQA Science in GCSE and went to a college where they do Edexcel sciences you'd probably find it really difficult.
