Guide to the New Proposed A Level Politics Specifications
22nd September 2016
I've been taking a very close look at the proposed new A level Politics specifications this week. OCR, as many of us know, have decided to discontinue their Politics A level, which leaves just AQA and Pearson Edexcel to battle it out.
Edexcel currently has the lion's share of the market, but it will be interesting to see if they retain it. To help get you thinking about the ins and outs of the various specs, I've put together a short guide.
Please remember that this is the initial version and may well be revised once the new specs are fully accredited by Ofqual.
