The 2018 to 2021 papers are not here. Those sittings were disrupted, and the surviving papers sit on Pearson’s archive rather than at a stable address. Pearson’s paper finder has them.

November 2020 and 2021 were autumn sittings after the summer exams were cancelled. They are real papers. AQA stops publishing here at 2023: newer series sit behind a centre login. Its assessment resources page also carries an examiners’ report for every series, which is worth reading.

Questions

Which years are here?

AQA from June 2018 to June 2023, which is as far as AQA publishes without a centre login, including the autumn 2020 and 2021 sittings. Edexcel from June 2022 to June 2025. OCR from June 2019, including both autumn series.

Can I use another board’s papers?

For pure, yes. Differentiation is differentiation. Be careful with statistics, where Edexcel’s large data set has no equivalent elsewhere, and with mechanics, where the boards weight topics differently.

What do I do with a paper once I have marked it?

Look at the marks you dropped, not the score. Dropping M marks means you did not know the method. Dropping A marks means you did and slipped. Those need different fixes, and the total tells you nothing about which one you have.

Not sure where it went wrong?

We go through full papers question by question and name the mark you dropped. The first lesson is free.
