Terms and Conditions

Third party copyright restrictions

Many question papers contain material that is sourced from third-parties, such as photographs; extracts and diagrams from newspapers; books and magazines. Where this is the case, OCR endeavours to obtain full copyright clearance for the specific usage. However, if this has not been possible, some papers may not be available online or will have specific content removed.

Copyright Acknowledgement Booklets

The acknowledgements for the use of third-party copyright material can be found in the copyright acknowledgement booklets, published for each exam series, starting from the June 2009 exam series.

• Copyright acknowledgement booklet - June 2010 (PDF, 1 MB)
• Copyright acknowledgement booklet - January 2010 (PDF, 526 KB)
• Copyright acknowledgement booklet - June 2009 (PDF, 1 MB)

Conditions for centres

Copyright restrictions apply to the use of the papers by centres - they may be downloaded and printed for internal purposes within centres for examination preparation and private study. Centres may also save electronic versions of past papers on an internal intranet site or internal virtual learning environment. Centres do not need to apply for copyright clearance to do this.

However, centres wishing to reproduce past papers (or any other OCR materials) onto an externally facing Internet site or wishing to publish them in hard copy externally, must apply for permission in writing from OCR.

Publishers must also apply in writing for permission to reproduce any OCR materials.
