Heyo!
I studied OCR Computer Science at GCSE and achieved a Grade 8, despite only properly studying for a month or two beforehand (oops...) I later achieved an A* at A-levels after locking in a little bit more!
During the procrastinated study for GCSE (do not be like me!) I focused on a couple resources that helped me get a higher grade.
YouTube Videos: Craig n Dave are the best for explaining things you to in a high-level way. Do not use them alone, it must be complemented by worksheets and past papers.
Worksheets/Study Guides: PMT, OCR Coding Challenges, Tes, PG Online (often paid though) were all my lifeline. Go through topic by topic and make sure you have your flashcards made.
Past Papers: This is the most important thing! Use these to fill in any gaps, prioritise topics and see how things are asked for by comparing the mark scheme to your answers. OCR looks for very specific points! Revision World has many.
These three combined are the most important resources!
All the best,
Aura (Uni of Staffs, Comp Sci)

Thanks, so are the PMT summary notes section detailed enough to cover the spec?

By themself no, combined with the other resourced stated, yes!

i used them for my networks test last term (becuase i didnt pay attention in the lessons for that topic) and got 94 so they must be pretty good, i must say craig and dave is the best though. for everything else ive been using class notes and craig and dave and am predicted a nine. so yh i think pmt is pretty good (better for science imo) and do cover everything, maybe you just need a full understanding through other resources asw, like the ones listed above.
