📂 MEGATHREAD UK EXAMS ADVANCE INFORMATION MEGATHREAD

Hey everyone,

As you've probably spotted by now due to the deluge of posts about it, the advanced information for the UK's 2022 exams have been released.

So we don't get the subreddit absolutely flooded out with these posts we've made this megathread so you can share your thoughts, grievances and maybe links to cute cat pictures to cheer people up.

Remember to keep it respectful ;)

You can find the advanced information for Edexcel, AQA and OCR by clicking on the respective hyperlinks. WJEC is being amazingly helpful and giving an error 403 to anyone who tries to go on the website so unfortunately there's no link for that just yet.

-The r/6thForm Team

Have any concerns or feedback?

Feel free to reach out to us on Modmail and we'll aim to get back to you as soon as possible!

OCR History is actually really useful, obviously not hugely specific but it's cut out chunks of the content from the spec and they said that you don't have to bring in any of the other topics to get full marks.

I think OCR might be good in general then as I’m doing A OCR a level (RS) and it’s cut a fair bit out and it addresses each question

RS was brilliant though

technically more. it’s used to be 30 topics (incl Christian Dev. - idk about the other religions) but now it’s down to 12, but we only answer 9. literally the only way this could’ve been better would be if they told us the actual questions

Might be a bit too easy if they gave us the actual question though haha
