OCR A-level Geography past papers and mark schemes
23 papers · June 2018 – June 2024
OCR A-level Geography (H481) papers on this page start from June 2018 and run to June 2024, across 7 exam series. They are grouped as H481/01 (Physical systems), H481/02 (Human interactions) and H481/03 (Geographical debates). H481/01 and H481/02 are each listed at 66 marks and 1 hour 30 minutes, while H481/03 is listed at 108 marks and 2 hours 30 minutes.
There are 23 files in total, each with a mark scheme: 20 from exam series and 3 specimen papers. H481/01 has 7 papers listed, compared with 8 for each of the other components, so you have slightly fewer to practise with there. One paper also comes with an insert. Everything opens on Physics & Maths Tutor.
Try to sit the longer H481/03 paper in one go to get used to the 2 hours 30 minutes, and mark each paper against its mark scheme afterwards. Reschedule, an independent A-level revision planner, helps you fit this practice in. You give it your subjects, exam board, paper dates and study hours, and it builds a daily plan from the specification with each subtopic placed before the paper that examines it, plus past papers with mark schemes for each paper.
