One of the best ways to revise for your GCSEs is to look at past papers. To make your life a little easier, 😉 we have compiled a list of different past papers to help you find what you are looking for! 

If you want a little bit of extra help with your English GCSEs you can [book a free trial session](https://www.gostudent.org/en/tuition/english) with one of our parent-approved tutors. We also offer [A-Level tutoring](https://www.gostudent.org/en-gb/tuition/a-levels/).![girl studying for an exam](https://www.gostudent.org/hs-fs/hubfs/studying.jpg?width=1000&name=studying.jpg)

## AQA English Past Papers

Even the most educated and learned scholars lose the will to live after spending more than five minutes searching for papers on the AQA website! 💀

If you want to brave it alone, here are the links: 

- [AQA English Language past paper resources](https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/english/gcse/english-language-8700/assessment-resources)
- [AQA English Literature past paper resources](https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/english/gcse/english-literature-8702/assessment-resources?start_rank=1)

If you want us to neatly, concisely and handily lay them all out for you, 😇 then get a load of this: 

### AQA English Language: Paper 1

This exam paper is fiction (stories). You will be given two sources and have to answer five questions. 

- [Question booklet](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/november/AQA-87001-QP-NOV19.PDF)
- [Insert](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/november/AQA-87001-INS-NOV19.PDF)
- [Mark scheme](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/november/AQA-87001-W-MS-NOV19.PDF)

### AQA English Language: Paper 2

This exam paper is non-fiction (not stories). 😅 You will be given one source and have to answer five questions. 

- [Question booklet](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87002-QP-JUN19.PDF)
- [Insert](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87002-INS-JUN19.PDF)
- [Mark scheme](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87002-W-MS-JUN19.PDF)

### AQA English Literature: Paper 1

English Language Paper 1 focuses on Shakespeare and 19th Century 

- [Question booklet](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87021-QP-JUN19.PDF)
- [Mark scheme](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87021-W-MS-JUN19.PDF)

### AQA English Literature: Paper 2

English Literature Paper 2 focuses on Modern Texts and Poetry (Anthology and Unseen)~

- [Question booklet](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87022-QP-JUN19.PDF)
- [Mark scheme](https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2019/june/AQA-87022-W-MS-JUN19.PDF)

## Edexcel English Past Papers

The Edexcel website is definitely better to navigate than the rabbit warren, AQA. Can you believe that someone thought to upload the question paper, mark scheme and extracts all onto the same document?! 🤯

- [Edexcel past paper resources: English Language](https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/english-language-2015.news.html?article=%2Fcontent%2Fdemo%2Fen%2Fnews-policy%2Fqualifications%2Fedexcel-gcses%2Fenglish%2Fnew-specimen-papers-for-gcse-english-language-2015)
- [Edexcel past papers resources: English Literature](https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/GCSE/English%20Literature/2015/teaching-and-learning-materials/English_Literature_paper_1_specimen_paper_(set_1).pdf)

The downside is that there are not that many past papers available online. 

 

## OCR English Past papers

 

The OCR Website gives a comprehensive and easy to navigate website with past papers. Here are the links:

- [OCR English Language past paper resources](https://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/gcse/english-language-j351-from-2015/assessment/)
- [OCR English Literature past paper resources](https://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/gcse/english-literature-j352-from-2015/assessment/)

## WJEC English Past Papers

Here is where you can find past papers for the WJEC English Literature and English Language GCSEs:

- [WJEC English Language past paper resources](https://www.wjec.co.uk/qualifications/english-language-gcse/#tab_pastpapers)
- [WJEC English Literature past paper resources](https://www.wjec.co.uk/qualifications/english-literature-gcse/#tab_pastpapers)

The WJEC website is good because it groups past papers and mark schemes by year (so it is easy to find a year) but confusing in that all of the past papers and mark schemes are jumbled into the same list – which becomes particularly confusing when you have higher and lower tiers and the rather unimaginatively named ‘Unit 2A’ and ‘Unit 2B’. 😳

But fear not, we’ve filtered through the chaos and ordered it for you in a neat way! 💪
