OCR ancient history revision

I’m doing OCR GCSE ancient history, but there seems to be nothing online for revision… can anyone suggest anything?

Hey are you doing gcse or a-level ancient history? I’ve got notes on most of the gcse stuff but I do think the best material is from the OCR endorsed textbooks. With ancient history, the best way to learn the content (and there is lots of it) is to make your own notes and flashcards using stuff like the textbook otherwise it probably won’t stick.

The GCSE, I should’ve specified. Thanks a lot!

What depth studies are you doing? I did Tyranny & Democracy for the Greece-Persia Unit and then Cleopatra for the Roman unit. I can send my period study notes (if I can find them) if you want.

Hey all just to let you know I have just started a Study Group discussion for Ancient History (one for GCSE, one for A-Level). They are stickied but to make it easier here are links if you fancy checking them out and having a more concrete space to talk about Ancient History revision/coursework/exams etc:

Hope this helps :smile:

Honestly, the best recsource for me is the ocr textbooks. They’re expensive new, but there’s loads of places online to get them second hand
