Past question papers and mark schemes

We publish question papers and mark schemes on our website about 9 months after the exams. They are deleted three years later.

Some papers can't be put on the web for copyright reasons – but you can usually buy printed copies for three years after the exams.

For more detailed information, see our Publication policy pages.
