Common questions
Where can I find English Language past papers from Eduqas?
This page links every English Language paper Eduqas publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2026. 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 Language papers?
Yes, 9 of the 16 question papers here have a mark scheme, and 18 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, a grade 7 needed 129 out of 200 and a grade 4 needed 89. 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: Eduqas's own English Language specification (C700), 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 2 papers, of 80 marks each.
How can I practise more English Language 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 Language?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for English Language. 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.
