What exam board do you hate the most?

Poll

Which exam board do you hate or dislike the most?

For me, Edexcel is fine, I do it for maths. AQA has a lot of content for subjects like RS and Geography, but English is honestly so long. OCR is for science, I don't like it and it's annoying because there's not much online for OCR science. What do you guys think? I'll attach a poll too.

I've taken them for every subject in GCSE, and my A-Levels (which are Maths, Chemistry and Biology). They have a huge reputation for being pedantic with their answers. If your answer isn't word for word with the mark scheme, you ain't getting the mark :/

I do edexcel for maths, okay for me. I also do AQA for RS, not that difficult. I do AQA for Spanish, and so far in Year 10 it's the GCSE that requires less attention for me personally. You're lucky to do AQA for science though.
