🔀 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: Three papers including one with multiple choice and resource-based questions; coursework replaced by a fully examined route.
Edexcel: Four papers with data-response and extended essays; strong emphasis on real business contexts and case-study application.
OCR: Two examined papers plus a non-exam assessment investigating a business context.
