Common questions
Where can I find Politics past papers from AQA?
This page links every Politics 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 Politics papers?
Yes, every question paper here has a mark scheme, and 12 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the Politics grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 152 out of 231 and an E needed 46. The grade boundaries for every series from June 2019 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 Politics specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: AQA's own Politics specification (7152), 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 77 marks each.
