About OCR A-Level History

OCR is the third major English exam board and is used by a significant proportion of schools, particularly in the South East and Midlands. It runs two A-Level chemistry specs (A and B Salters), and its Computer Science spec is highly regarded for rigour. OCR mark schemes tend to accept a broader range of phrasing than AQA.

OCR A-Level History uses a thematic and period study model. The question structures — especially the 'assess the validity of this interpretation' essays — require a distinct technique that tutors practise via essay marking and model answers.
