Currently doing Medicine Through Time with my Year 10s, but considering opting for something different next year. Does anyone have any feedback on either the Edexcel or OCR course? How has it been received by students? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Can I broaden this topic? I'm thinking of allowing the lower ability students to do the SHP OCR Crime and Punishment. Is it suitable?

thanks everyone for your replies. One question; how have those who are using OCR found the markscheme for the exam questions? I have taken on a Year 13 class at my current school using OCR, and have found the mark schemes to be very vague to say the least.

cheers,
