A Level Art & Design: how each board marks it

AQA · OCR · Pearson Edexcel — a separate book for each

The assessment objectives below are worded almost identically whichever board you teach. What differs is the weight each one carries, and that is what decides where a department spends its time. Each book quotes its own board's specification word for word, and opens at its first fifteen pages here.
