Question papers and mark schemes are available in print shortly after results. Our charges just cover the costs of printing and shipping.

Schools and colleges registered with e-AQA can access Secure Key Materials free of charge.

Students can download most of our past papers and mark schemes for revision purposes free of charge, 9–10 months after the exams. We delay publishing them so that teachers can use them in mock exams before they go on the website where students can readily see them.

The question papers and their mark schemes are removed from the web after three years for copyright reasons. Although third party copyright material is removed, the documents remain available for download on Secure Key Materials. Printed copies can be purchased from Publications.

Third-party copyright restrictions

We can't publish some of our past papers on the web for copyright reasons. This applies particularly to papers containing extracts, quotations, diagrams and photos from books, magazines and newspapers. And sometimes we have to delete third-party material from the papers we put on the web: full versions of these question papers are usually available in print.

Mark schemes are not normally subject to third party restrictions and, therefore, the full suite will usually be published. AQA will continue to make mark schemes available for download on Secure Key Materials. Printed copies can be purchased from Publications.
