This resource contains OCR A LEVEL RS revision notes, revision checklist, OCR specification and possible questions for THE PROBLEM OF EVIL.

Using tutoring experience after having sat this exam myself, I have personally created these notes. These notes are presented in an easy-to-use format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy. I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable resource to you.
