Which difference between AQA exams and OCR
Hi there!! Which difference are between AQA and OCR exams? Is there one more difficult or something?
In my case, biology is AQA, chemistry OCR Specification A, and Physics OCR. Why?

I can’t fully speak for biology but I think that AQA biology has an essay that you need to do but OCR A doesn’t AFAIK.
For OCR A physics, the way the specification is laid out is different to AQA (AQA you get to pick a module option for paper 3 I think, for OCR A, you don’t).
But it’s probably better to look at the specifications yourself and compare them or ask teachers.
In theory, they are supposed to be of the same difficulty, but AQA Physics seems to disagree with that (the exams have become unnecessarily difficult for this specification).
