About OCR GCSE Physics

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 Physics A (H557) and Physics B Advancing Physics (H557) have notably different styles. Physics B is more conceptual and less calculation-heavy. A tutor familiar with the specific spec can match their teaching style accordingly.
