AQA ‘Big Cat’ Mock Exam Papers – Higher and Foundation, Complete Set This download pack features original mock exam material that I made up when working with the AQA board as we didn’t have enough past papers. The download includes higher and foundation papers, source material for both and answers for the first section. Please note, as I no longer work with the AQA board, I do not know if the style of questions is still compatible with the current English AQA syllabus. Even if they do not meet the exact requirements, I image the texts and answers would be suitable for general exam practice or testing.
