OCR physics compared to AQA (A Level Edition)

I've done phsyics ocr for gcse and the college I'm looking at does aqa– how different is the specification? is it harder? And how are the grade boundaries like?

OCR spec A or spec B?

OCR A usually has higher grade boundaries at A level than both OCR B and AQA. As such, it is probably the course with the easiest papers.

Recently, AQA has made some of their papers needlessly difficult according to most AQA A level physics students I’ve heard from (the 2023 papers were all awful and 2024 paper 2 was allegedly dogsh!t) and so I am expecting that AQA will refine how it sets its physics exam questions to make their exams more manageable.
