AQA A-level English Language past papers and mark schemes
20 papers · June 2017 – June 2025
For AQA A-level English Language, specification 7702, this page lists Paper 1: Language, the individual and society and Paper 2: Language diversity and change. Both carry 100 marks and run for 2 hours 30 minutes, under the codes 7702/1 and 7702/2.
You will find 20 papers in all, 10 under each heading: 18 from 9 exam series between June 2017 and June 2025 and 2 specimen papers. Every paper has a mark scheme and an insert, so keep the insert open alongside the question paper as you work. Most files come from AQA, which sets the papers, and some open on Physics & Maths Tutor. With just two papers listed, it is easy to alternate between them week by week. Write your answers in full and timed, then read the mark scheme carefully and compare your response with what it rewards. Leaving the June 2025 series untouched until near the exam gives you a realistic final run-through.
Reschedule is an A-level revision planner. Tell it your subjects, your board, the date of each paper and when you can study, and it builds a daily plan from the specification. If a day slips, unfinished tasks move to your next study days, still before each paper's date.
