Question bank › AQA A‑Level English Language AQA A‑Level English Language questions by topic Every question from every AQA A-Level English Language paper, 2020–2025, question by question. Filter by topic, paper or year, open the mark scheme under any question, and download a set as a PDF. AQA publishes its A-Level English Language papers from November 2020 on; the NEA (coursework) has no paper. The texts a question analyses are printed in the paper's insert: open it from the question, or show how the question starts to read them here. The child language data is printed with its question. Where AQA has removed a text for copyright, the questions on it aren't here (Paper 1: June 2022 Text B, June 2024 Text A; Paper 2: November 2020 Text B, June 2022 both texts, June 2023 Text A).
