AQA ‘Snow Drift’ Mock Exam Papers – With Power Point Presentation 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 a mock exam paper (from 2013 style questions), 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.
