Gcse Computer Science - OCR to AQA | GCSE

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is much difference between the content on a ocr computer science exam compared to a aqa conputer science exam?

Struggling to get an OCR exam booked in my local area, thinking my only option maybe the AQA Computer science.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Not Really, at gcse level they are fairly equally spread across the subject matter. Some minor module differences, but not that you would really notice. Its more the phrasiology of the papers, and the focus of exam criteria. If you can pass in one, you will almost certainly have enough of the basic understanding to pass the other.
