🔀 Board Differences
Board specifications differ in assessment structure and emphasis. The core content is shared across boards; these are the genuine differences by board:
AQA: Two papers: one on computational thinking and programming, the other theoretical. Includes a non-exam programming project.
Edexcel: Three papers plus a non-exam project; strong emphasis on Python-style programming and mathematical reasoning.
OCR: Two papers plus a substantial programming project; conceptual and theory-heavy, considered demanding.
WJEC: Welsh board; unitised structure covering programming, systems and networks.
CCEA: Northern Ireland's board; unitised assessment with content broadly mirroring other boards.
