AQA GCSE English Language Practice Papers

This resource has been created to help prepare students to take the AQA English Language Paper 1 exam. There are 5 practice papers using a variety of different and challenging texts. The extracts are marginally shorter than the actual exam extracts and some are from heritage texts. This has been done to facilitate a cross-over of skills between language and literature. The resource can be used in the classroom: modelling, conducting timed responses, or simply just talking through to expose students to as many texts as possible; or it could form an independent homework task, or revision. Without bigging myself up too much, I have been an AQA examiner for the past 3 years, so I hope that brings you some sense of trust in the usefulness of this resource. As ever, I hope this brings some calm to the chaos!
