Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) History past papers and mark schemes

299 papers · June 2016 – June 2025

Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) History is set with four options in each of its four units, and this page holds 299 papers across them. The units are ‘Unit 1: Depth Study with Interpretations (WHI01/01)’, ‘Unit 2: Breadth Study with Source Evaluation (WHI02/01)’, ‘Unit 3: Thematic Study with Source Evaluation (WHI03/01)’ and ‘Unit 4: International Study with Historical Interpretations (WHI04/01)’, each lasting 2 hours. Within each unit the papers are split by option, from 1A to 1D, so ‘1C: Germany, 1918–45’ and ‘1B: China, 1900–76’ each have their own list.

The papers span 22 exam series from June 2016 to June 2025, including October sittings between October 2017 and October 2020. Each has a mark scheme, 200 have an insert and 16 are specimens. WHI02 has the most papers at 80, while WHI04 has 67. Pearson hosts most files, with some opening on Physics & Maths Tutor.

Skip straight to the options you study and ignore the rest. Planning an answer against the clock is a useful exercise even when you do not write it out in full. Reschedule is a revision planner. Add your exam board, paper dates and study hours, and it builds a daily plan from the specification down to subtopics, each scheduled before the paper that examines it.
