OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation Paper 2 (J199/21-23) - 2nd June 2025 [Exam Chat]

how do u revise for it/have you got any websites i could use plss

I find looking up on youtube like tours of the citadels are really useful as they explain what each of the key places/things such as sally ports are. I dont have a specific one but most of them are pretty good. GOOD LUCK IN THE EXAM

Okay - big announcement
Normally I keep these flashcards locked and private, but I'm opening them up for you all to make use of until after the exams.
These took me WEEKS, and I do mean weeks and weeks and weeks to make for my own kids a couple of years ago.

Guys that paper…

how did we find the homeric world paper, the whole bs on Telemachus was HORROR - what did everyone say for the one about what he said to Penelope I just said that he told her the bow was rightfully his and that she should go to her room but im pretty sure thats wrong

Omfg I’m gonna cry the Homeric world was so bad I hate OCR. I put he told her to go to her room as well. I acc really wanted to do well in classics as well but that paper killed me and like the first question destroyed my confidence for the rest of the paper

those six marks about the lion gate??? also why did it not ask us about Mark B on the source?

anyone who does war and warfare see that question without x marked on * dk how ocr forgot that, hopefully they give us all the 3 marks

I got an amended one did you not it was the principia

yes right ??? I had no idea what to say for the question on why they used lions it seemed like a one or two marker max and the construction question felt poorly worded, for the whole lion gate stuff it just felt like there was nowhere near enough info to acc even talk about, I just waffling sm

I'm so sorry.
If everyone has done poorly though, the grade boundaries will lower, so there might be hope yet.
