Entry Codes - January and June 2012
OCR’s new specification for GCSE Environmental and Land-based Science (J721) has options for candidates to take computer-based tests (CBT) or conventional written paper examinations.
We have decided to make similar options available for the remaining examination series (January and June 2012) for the legacy specification (J650). For each of units B491–B495, each candidate may be entered for either a computer-based test or a written paper, and for either Foundation Tier or Higher Tier. Please see the full notice for further information and an outline of the entry codes.
