OCR GCSE Classics

DD is set on taking A level Classics and needs a 7 minimum at GCSE. She is currently hovering around 5/6, her mocks results have gave her a sharp kick up the backside in terms of realising she needs to work a bit harder/smarter if she wants to continue on to A Level.

We are struggling with revision materials though. We can only find a couple of past papers online (OCR) and the one revision book I found on Amazon doesn't have the best reviews.

Can anyone point us in the right direction please?

Never found a revision guide when DC did it last year. There are Bloomsbury textbooks and there are some resources on this site: warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/warwickclassicsnetwork/stoa/classciv/gcse/
Maybe also try Cambridge schools classics project.

Do you mean Classical Civilisations?

Ok great, DS is taking it too, but I’ve also found little useful info out there. Desperately there was some form of revision guide!
