Improvements to summer 2019 exam papers

Published: Tuesday 23 Apr 2019

We’ve made some improvements to the layout of our GCSE English Language (8700/2) Paper 2: Writers’ viewpoints and perspectives. The improvements will affect exams taking place in summer 2019 and onwards.

The GCSE English Language Paper 2 will feature extra space lines added to questions 2 and 3 allowing students more space to write their responses and replace the need for additional sheets.

Our sample answer booklet based on the summer 2018 paper shows how the additional space for questions 2 and 3 will look.
