Hi,
I wondered if I might ask whether there are any striking differences between the content of AQA and Pearson Edexcel for GCSEs? Or a hint on how I could find out?
Subjects are Economics, Geography, French.
I am home schooling just now and likely to be on an EOTAS plan, still home edding at some point. I'm trying to choose the right exam boards asap so we can be on the same ones right through GCSE (currently year 9).
DC and I have an eye for beautiful typesetting and nicely produced textbooks. Everything goes much better if we are working with materials that are pleasing to the eye.
In some subjects the AQA books are nicest, but the Pearson Edexcel exam papers are nicer looking than the AQA ones.
I just wondered if there are any other major differences in the content? For example, could we work from AQA books and sit Edexcel exams?
We're doing Computer science from an OCR book, which is the most correct text book that we can find. Again I'd be interested to know if the content of OCR computer science is the same as Pearson Edexcel exam, which has the prettiest paper.
I've not been able to find really clear documentation online specifying what the differences are and I would be really grateful to know how I can find that information.
Thanks!

How do you plan to sit OCR GCSE computer science? Your screenshots don’t list it and T&E don’t offer it.
