recommend a good revision guide for A-level OCR B Physics

I'm studying crappy OCR B Physics and it's difficult to find a good revision guide for OCR B. Almost all of the OCR physics revision guides are made for OCR A.
Can you think of any good OCR B revision guide?

The Letts ones usually point out which sections are particularly relevant for OCR B at the start of the book. The CGP ones usually state which bits you need to do at the start of each section too.

Any revision guide for Physics except the official Institute of Physics one.

I'm doing OCR B Physics at A2 and the official resources are dreadfully poor.
Sam Davyson's website has the best stuff I've found for it: http://sam.davyson.com/as/physics/

I agree with you to the awfulness of the IoP text book.
Also, Sam Davyson's website is excellent for AS part of the course but he doesn't seem to update A2 ones. I actually used his website to revise for AS exams, especially the Section C question. : :biggrin:

I haven't trusted CGP since I started finding so many errors in their guides ("Cold water holds less oxygen than warmer water" - and that's just off the top of my head).
I tend to just go with reading textbooks. It'll almost always have the syllabus and then some, so you get good background knowledge as well.

The very same. They don't seem so thick when you just read a few pages a night. Heck, the average Joe probably reads more than that browsing in newspapers and on the internet.

Is it possible to get a printable version of your website or can I get the information from your website because I find it difficult to revise on the computer. I tend to do something else at the same time so I can't concentrate very well.
