To be honest, that depends on the country you live in. In the Middle East, Cambridge is more common, so you will find more resources for the Cambridge board to help in your subjects. In my country, Edexcel is more common, so having Edexcel as my board gave me access to a range of teachers to choose from. Generally, Edexcel has more online resources, so you might want to choose Edexcel.

Hi @Ahmett ,

I did my A-Levels at an International School in Malaysia, and for the most part all the A-Level subjects were taught using the Cambridge exam board, however there were some exceptions where some subjects were the Edexcel exam board. Personally, I did Biology, Chemistry and English Language all were under the Cambridge Exam Board and I had no difficulty with the specification and finding online revision resources to revise from.

Ultimately, I think it's important you take time to compare the two exam boards in terms of how much online resources you can find to revise from. I heard that Edexcel has lots of resources, but there are sufficient resources for Cambridge as well!

Hope this helps,
