Common questions
Where can I find Sociology past papers from AQA?
This page links every Sociology 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 Sociology papers?
Yes, every question paper here has a mark scheme, and 7 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the Sociology grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, a grade 7 needed 143 out of 200 and a grade 4 needed 98. 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 Sociology specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: AQA's own Sociology specification (8192), 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 2 papers, of 100 marks each.
How can I practise more Sociology 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 Sociology?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for Sociology. 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.
