Common questions
Where can I find Geography past papers from OCR?
This page links every Geography paper OCR publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2025. Each link opens the PDF on OCR's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once OCR makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these Geography papers?
Yes, 15 of the 18 question papers here have 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 Geography grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, an A needed 213 out of 300 and an E needed 96. The grade boundaries for every series from June 2018 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 Geography specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: OCR's own Geography specification (H481), a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked. According to OCR's grade boundaries for June 2026, the course is examined in 5 papers, worth 360 marks in all.
How can I practise more Geography 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 Geography?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for Geography. 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.
