This download contains practice assessment materials for AQA GCSE Sociology (Crime & Deviance).
It contains 5 exam sections, 5 mark-schemes, and 5 model 12-mark answers.
An ‘exam section’ is half of a full-exam: students should complete it in 50 minutes, making these ideal for assessment lessons.
This download covers the topic of ‘Crime & Deviance’ - you can save money buy buying assessment materials for all four-sections here.
Complete units for GCSE Sociology can be downloaded here.
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimin material already provided. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

This bundle contains all five of our new exam wrappers (aka cognitive wrappers, assessment wrappers).
All of these exam wrappers are: A4, double-sided, colour, and editable. We have included both .doc and .pdf versions to aid with printing.
This bundle now also includes our zero-print ‘Virtual Assessment Wrapper’ which features fifty slides of student reflection activities for before and after assessments!
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - use of exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”, yet there are very few available online and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. These wrappers are designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and are designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises all five of our exam wrappers, buying them in this bundle saves money and the variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities and help maintain engagement.
For your convenience, we have also included some of our other metacognition sample resources in this bundle.
This download is designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE course [ 8192 ].
