Publication policy
Recent exam materials
Staff at centres registered with e-AQA, our secure extranet, can access
- Question papers
- Preliminary material
- Mark schemes
- Reports on the examination.
Teachers who wish to use the service need access to e-AQA, which may be obtained from the e-AQA centre administrator (usually your Exams Officer).
Schools and colleges that have not registered to use e-AQA services should contact the e-AQA help desk if they wish to register now.
Materials are published as follows:
- For GCE, question papers, preliminary material and mark schemes are available 10 days after the examination has been sat. Reports on the examination are available on results day.
- For GCSE, FSMQ and AEA, question papers, preliminary material, mark schemes and reports on the examination are available on results
From publication until the end of the Post-Results Services period, question papers and preliminary materials are available on e-AQA solely to help teachers who are deciding whether to request Post-Results Services. The documents may not be stored electronically or used for any other purpose as this would contravene copyright law.
After the end of the Post-Results Services period some papers are replaced with copies that exclude third-party material, and a few papers are removed, for copyright reasons. From this time, the papers may be saved and used for teaching and learning purposes.
About 9 months after the exams, all materials are transferred to the main AQA website.
