How to use the papers

Sit one recent paper to time, mark it with the board's mark scheme the same day, and note which topic each lost mark belongs to. Then use questions by topic for those topics only. Full papers and topic drills do different jobs. Three papers marked properly teach more than ten papers read through.

Pearson locks the most recent papers so that registered centres can use them as mocks. If a file asks for a centre login, that is the board's rule. This site does not offer another copy.

What the grade is set on

A Level is linear. The grade comes from the qualification total, not from a pass mark on one paper. Boards also publish notional component boundaries. AQA labels those component tables as illustrative, and OCR says a component grade does not automatically add up to the qualification grade. The numbers that decide the certificate are the qualification row on the grade boundaries page.

Questions people ask

Are these the exam boards' own papers?
Yes. Every paper, mark scheme, formula booklet and grade boundary on this site is linked to AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR. We do not host the files.
Does this include Cambridge International or Edexcel IAL?
No. Those are different qualifications, with different papers and a different exam calendar. This site is UK GCE only.
Which subjects are here?
Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Other subjects are not listed until a page exists for them.
