I have compiled the Edexcel past paper questions from 2010 to 2022 by AQA themes. In the PPT files, you will find the exam questions, audio for each, transcript and mark scheme. (Please note that the current Edexcel GCSE specification is from 2017). This resource includes the four topics under AQA Theme 1: Theme 1 Topic 1 - 1.1: Me, family and friends Theme 1 Topic 2 - 1.2: Technology Theme 1 Topic 3 - 1.3: Free-time activities Theme 1 Topic 4 - 1.4: Customs and festivals There are questions with overlapping themes; in that case, I chose the main theme. You can find the AQA Theme 1 listening exam Qs here too: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12829788 Due to copyright issues, I cannot charge this resource. But I did spend a lot of time compiling it, please do credit my labour work and use it sensibly, particularly be careful regarding mocks.
