Common questions
Where can I find English Language past papers from AQA?
This page links every English Language paper AQA publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2025. Each link opens the PDF on AQA's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once AQA makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these English Language papers?
Yes, every question paper here has a mark scheme, and 10 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the English Language grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 397 out of 500 and an E needed 184. The grade boundaries for every series from June 2017 to June 2026 are on this course's grade boundaries page, and each series of papers here links to its own year's table, so you can mark a paper and read your grade.
Where is the English Language specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: AQA's own English Language specification (7702), a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked. According to AQA's grade boundaries for June 2026, the course is examined in 3 papers, of 100 marks each.
How can I practise more English Language questions?
Once you have worked through the papers, cookie has a practice deck for this course with fresh questions based on the specification and past papers, feedback on what you write, and spaced repetition.
