Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
OCR GCSE History SHP
Richard Woff · 2017
70/100
👍 Worth It
For its precise audience — UK students sitting the OCR GCSE History B SHP paper on the Aztecs and Spanish Conquest — this does exactly what it needs to do, with official OCR endorsement and a thoughtful scaffolded enquiry structure. Outside that specific exam context its utility drops sharply. Solid and functional, not inspiring.
