A-Level Chemistry: OCR vs CIE

I'm thinking of signing up for Up-Learn tutorials for A-Level Chemistry, however, I am doing CIE and Up-Learn only provide OCR and AQA.

Anyone know if the CIE syllabus is similar to OCR? especially for A Level Chem?

Thank you!!

I'm pretty sure that OCR chem is much more relevant to CIE as both exam boards are Cambridge based. The only major difference is that OCR (A or B) is for students living in the UK, whereas CIE is an international version in which many topics interlink however the exam itself is structured slightly differently. As far as the AQA spec is concerned it is very different to CIE both topic and criteria wise.
