About OCR GCSE Biology

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 Biology A (H420) has a high proportion of application questions — students are given unfamiliar data and asked to analyse it in the context of biological principles. Tutors who practise data-response questions consistently outperform those who focus only on content recall.
