Printed answer books at A Level
Printed answer books are now being used in the following modules as exam marking has moved to being on screen for these: C1, C2, C3, D1, S1, S2, M1, M2, FP1. The reasons for the change, timescale for introduction and advice for candidates are in this notice to centres (September 2009) from OCR. For information about on-screen marking please see notice to centres (March 2010). More information about the changes is available on the OCR website, including some practice printed answer books for those papers marked on-screen for the first time in June 2010. Practice C1, C2, M1, S1 and D1 papers with printed exam books can be found below.
