Can Heapso write to my exam board's GCSE specification?

Choose the subject and add your board's specification, and Heapso plans to that subject at GCSE. Check topic coverage against the board's own specification, which we link to. Heapso never copies specification content.

Why do some subjects show no specification code?

We only show codes we have checked on the exam board's own website. CCEA's subject pages don't show codes, so CCEA specifications are listed by name. If a code is missing, follow the link to the board.

GCSE courses are usually taught in Years 10 and 11 in England and Wales, Years 11 and 12 in Northern Ireland.
