For OCR B Component Group 1: British History, students are required to write on one Thematic Study and one British Depth Study.
(NOTE: For the year of 2021, GCSE exams in the UK will not go ahead and will be replaced by a form of teacher-assessed grades. All students will be assessed on one British Depth Study. Then, only three of the four remaining studies will be assessed, namely Thematic Study, History Around Us, Period Study, and World Depth Study. Schools are free to choose which of the three studies they will enter their students for. For more information, visit OCR’s website.)
