Year 11's; For anyone needing HISTORY REVISION help!

Whilst researching on how to answer certain exam questions for history (Paper 1 - OCR), I stumbled upon this website;

https://schoolhistory.co.uk/studentforum/index.php?showtopic=7159

I don't know whether anyone else uses a different website called 'JohnDClare.net', but the information that is given on this website is actually written by 'John D Clare', himself. I also asked my history teacher to check whether all of what he said was correct, and it is :smile:

So, in the forum, he goes through every single type of question that you can get on paper 1, step-by-step. I just thought that this may be useful to anyone taking OCR history GCSE :smile:

Now, I may sound confident with my history revision in this post, but really...I am not; I don't know where to start. What's more, my teacher seems to go into great depth with each topic we cover, so I am not too sure how to distinguish which are the parts of the information I need, and which are the parts that I don't. Any advice would be much appreciated :smile:

If I wasn't studying edexcel history, I would probably have found that very helpful (then again, I might still find parts helpful), so thanks for that :biggrin:

Whoops, forgot to include that it is only for OCR history; thank you :smile:
