AQA Past exam questions (Paper 1,2 and 3)

This is an excellent assessment resource that my department used for internal examination with our Year 13’s - It was their December mock examination.

I created all three papers using past examination papers dating back to the 2006 specification. My reasoning for creating these assessments from old material a) my students had completed all the current AQA papers and the majority had completed the specification before this. The 2006 - 2011 spec. questions posed a new challenge for my students even the meticulous students.

**Student feedback: **
My meticulous students were so thankful for these questions as it really challenged them especially the Paper 3. My weaker ability students found it very challenging but it served as a great indicator for students needing further intervention support.

*The resources: *

• A Powerpoint with the paper 1, 2 and 3 mark scheme; on slides 2, 20 and 38 you will see the papers question breakdown. I printed these for my students and got they to record their marks per question. At the end of the marking students analysed areas of strength and weakness.
