Choosing an exam board. Edexcel Vs AQA
We're introducing GCSE Statistics for Year 9.
I've taught AQA many times at previous schools but think it's time to check out the competition!
So what to take into consideration?
- The syllabus?
- Style of past exam papers?
- The controlled assessment?
- Availability of supporting materials such as texts?
- Proportion of previous candidates passing at each grade?
What have I missed?
