AQA Language Papers 1 and 2

(0)
AQA style paper 1 and paper 2 question papers with inserts from Great Expectations and an article examining the changing attitudes to marriage. I have used this as a revision tool, taking the extract from Paper 1 and using it as Source A in Paper 2 (despite it being fiction) to cut down on reading time and to focus on developing the skills in the responses of candidates. This set is ideal for bite-size revision sessions, where students need to develop examination techniques and familiarity with the paper as a whole. These papers do not include question 1 on either paper. Papers are printable, with space for candidates to write their answers underneath the questions, to give them a sense of assessment conditions; it should also make whole-class employment for this resource easier.
