About OCR GCSE Maths

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 GCSE Maths (J560) and A-Level Maths (H240) follow the reformed curriculum. OCR's A-Level is notable for its Statistics component being assessed in a separate paper, which tutors often use to run focused statistics sessions in the weeks before exams.
