What Are Examination Boards?

Examination boards are essentially the directors and decision makers behind your student’s entire GCSE experience. All together there are five main examination boards and of those five there are two major boards: Edexcel & AQA.

What your student is going to be doing during their revision process is studying their mock exam results from questions derived from both Edexcel GCSE Maths & AQA mock exams. With the Edexcel GCSE Maths & AQA mock exams found right here on this site, your student will begin to fully understand the importance of revision for the Edexcel GCSE Maths & AQA Exams before they walk in for the real thing.

Knowing the differences between examination boards and what your student should be aiming for will make a huge difference in their Edexcel GCSE Maths & AQA revision process.

Here is an informational list of all of the examination boards:

AQA & Edexcel GCSE Maths

Here at GCSE Past Papers, we concentrate on AQA & Edexcel GCSE Maths revision. AQA & Edexcel are the two largest examination boards and Maths tends to be the subject that is the most challenging for students during the AQA & Edexcel GCSE Maths revision process.

A further challenge for students can be understanding the difference between AQA & Edexcel Maths Revision and the correlating boards. Often students simply think that the boards are the same, offer the same things, and at the end of the day each of these boards issues an exam that will test their AQA &/or Edexcel GCSE Maths revision progress.

It is important for students to gain a firm grasp on how Edexcel GCSE Maths can differentiate from AQA GCSE Maths when it comes to the collegiate career path that they wish to pursue.
