Subject updates

Subject updates are the way we let you know about changes to our qualifications, e.g. extensions or withdrawals. The latest updates are listed below and we send a monthly round up to all OCR exams officers.

If you’re an exams officer and you’re not receiving the monthly round up, get in touch with us to confirm your details. You may be missing out on other important updates.

If you’re delivering OCR qualifications and would like to receive the latest OCR news about your subject, you can sign up for updates.
