Science GCSE Board
Can anyone tell me what Science Board they are taking at CH now? I can't find a revision guide that matches anything mentioned at CH. Thanks
Re: Science GCSE Board
My son & daughter have just taken A'Level & GCSE Science respectively and they inform me it was with OCR. Son's exams were in Biology, Chemistry & Physics separately.
Re: Science GCSE Board
Thanks for that - really helpful. Do they know if it was OCR A or OCR B?! Apparently there are two. I also wondered if they sit some exams in GE as part of the final exam and then more modules the following year? Some boards seem to do this. Thanks
Re: Science GCSE Board
I'm afraid neither was able to tell me if it's OCR A or B.
It's so confusing I'm afraid - there seem to be 2 exams in UF, some pieces of coursework and then some more exams in GE. My daughter, however, is in the higher tier for Chemistry and Biology and has a higher workload in her GE. It all seems to have changed since my son (now going into Grecians) did his GCSEs although he also did 2 exams in his UF. I think your best bet would be to get in touch with the school for clarification.

Re: Science GCSE Board
I think the GCSE one is OCR Gateway... I know I did OCR but it was not the one CH studied, and we did OCR 21st Century.
Re: Science GCSE Board
It is Gateway and my children seem to have been given revision books by the school but I have seen them in Smith's.
