Why this board
Marking OCR Physics properly
Physics feedback focuses on equation selection, unit discipline and the structure of six-mark answers, the three things that separate a grade 6 from a grade 8 script. OCR questions lean on applying knowledge to unfamiliar contexts, so the gap between knowing a topic and scoring on it is wider than on other boards. That gap only shows up under timed conditions.
Every script is read by physics teachers and examiners. You get the paper back annotated, with a topic-level percentage and an indicative grade against real boundaries, not a self-marked tick list.

FAQ
OCR Physics questions
Do you mark against the OCR mark scheme?
Yes. Every Physics script is marked against the published Oxford, Cambridge and RSA mark scheme for that paper, by an evaluator who specialises in the subject and knows the board's conventions.
How quickly does a OCR Physics paper come back?
48 hours from upload as standard, and 72 hours during the January and May peaks. The current turnaround is always shown before you upload.
What does the report contain?
An annotated script, marks per question, a topic-level breakdown, an indicative grade placed against published boundaries, and three prioritised next actions.
Is the marking done by a person?
Yes, physics teachers and examiners. Every mark and comment is written by a qualified human evaluator.
What does OCR Physics marking cost?
Topic tests are £7.99, real past papers £11.99 and full mocks £14.99. The first paper is free, with no card details taken.
