The final accredited versions of the AS/A Level GCE specifications for first teaching in September 2008 are now available to download from the new AS/A Level GCE section of the OCR website.

Although most approved specifications have only seen incidental changes e.g. relating to proofreading, some specifications have undergone more significant changes, which have been marked up in the specifications by black vertical lines.

Five subjects that have seen very significant changes were reprinted and a copy was sent to all centres.

• Classics
• Critical Thinking
• Design and Technology
• Government and Politics
• ICT

All centres must use the correct version of the specifications.

Sample papers can be bought at http://publications.ocr.org.uk.
