OCR exam board

Two out of four of my AS levels are OCR, and I am not dropping either of them next year, so I'll be in the same situation as you (but different subjects).
I also don't really like OCR that much, from what I hear other exam boards are better in general (Except OCR B chemistry is apparently nice, but of course I am made to do edexcel chemistry >.> )

Anywho, well, one option is CGP books. I found this one which seems right for you https://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/Student/books_a2_psychology.book_PYRR61
CGP books are in general great, despite lacking some detail sometimes (depends on the CGP book).

You can also look online to see other students' notes. For my Physics all we have is one terrible textbook, and a really small CGP guide, so several people online upload notes and stuff for helping with it, you can search around and see if anyone's done that for psychology.

Thank you so much. Yeah, OCR for biology and chemistry is quite good apparently (Sod's law though, isn't it really)

Thats what I'm worrying about, I've looked at those CGP books before, and they are quite good, but as you say, are lacking in detail. Which for psychology, a lot of detail is needed.

I'm planning on just giving up

well thats not good. next year i am starting my a levels and all my subjects are ocr. maths, physics, chemistry and computing. damn it lol

i already take ocr as ict instead of gcse and really don't like the exam board the mark schemes are so messed up are they for other subjects?

Sorry about the rather late reply.
I only do psychology with OCR. The mark schemes for that are pretty messed up too.
I've asked around friends/relatives/TSR who do subjects with OCR and found that the exam board is generally quite ****e (apart from OCR biology apparently that's not too bad)

So my advice is just to never look at the help stuff given by OCR via their website (powerpoints and stuff) - it will make you cry.

Rules when revising using OCR textbooks -

1. If any of the information appears strange/different to what you have been told or have learnt before, research it straight away, as 9 times out of 10, it is wrong.

2. Things tend to be worded stupidly in their books. If anything seems to not 'sense make', write it out and decipher what it means - it can be a long process, but it is worth it.

3. Throw the book away, set fire to it, just make sure you never look at it again.
Just use the internet for revision.

Your teachers will know how bad OCR is (poor sods have had to teach it for ages on end) so they will give you plenty of *correct* revision aids if you ask.

Just don't worry, they're an awful exam board, but it's easy to get a good grade in, if you work hard. Just like any other exam board, really.
