Don't know ocr has like different spec for RM (I do AQA) but I guess most will be similar. I'm no expert by the way. RM is like studying for maths, nothing much you can do expect from practice doing it with past papers and watching videos. Do a section on RM (timed or not. better if it is), mark it, see examiners report if there is one and just like dot down the topics that you scored least. Just keeping doing that with other papers till you get it right or maybe revise the amber/red areas of rm for u, watch vid and practince. there are not many but some topic questions on psycisa and maths turort if u want something specfic

How did u guys find the exam. I personally thought compared to previous years this year questions were more difficult in comparison but doable

the exam was definatley harder compared to other years. i looked through the past papers and didnt see a correlation 15 marker that i can remember and this was vey minor but the 19 a) b) question tripped me up so much. i think depsite justifying and stuff it didnt feel like enough. i hope grade boundaries arent too tough this year!

Hopefully the paper 2 is easier cause I am worried they would pull up with something like socially sensitive, psychology is a science or sample bias

I know right the past papers were literally so easy but this year they decided to go with nominal dat corelational techniques.
