Common questions
Where can I find English Literature past papers from Eduqas?
This page links every English Literature paper Eduqas publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2025. Each link opens the PDF on Eduqas's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once Eduqas makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these English Literature papers?
Yes, 13 of the 15 question papers here have a mark scheme, and 13 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the English Literature grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 286 out of 400 and an E needed 98. 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 Literature specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: Eduqas's own English Literature specification (A720), a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked. According to Eduqas's grade boundaries for June 2026, the course is examined in 4 papers, worth 400 marks in all.
How can I practise more English Literature questions?
cookie's practice decks can make fresh exam-style questions from a specification or your own notes, with feedback and spaced repetition, so you can keep practising once the papers run out.
Can I get help with English Literature?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for English Literature. The Find a tutor link keeps the subject and qualification filters from this page, so you can check the marketplace without assuming that a suitable tutor is available.
