Question bank › AQA GCSE English Language AQA GCSE English Language questions by topic Every question from every AQA GCSE 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 English Language papers from November 2020 on, with each paper's sources in a separate insert: open it from any question. Where AQA has removed a paper's source for copyright (Paper 1 in June 2022 and November 2022, 2023 and 2025, Paper 2 in November 2025), only its writing question is here, and AQA hasn't published Paper 2 for November 2023.
