Exam Paper Depot is a free guide to GCSE and IGCSE past exam papers from the UK exam boards: AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and Eduqas, CCEA, Cambridge International and, for Scotland, SQA National 5. Our aim is simple: to help students, parents and teachers find the right official past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports quickly, and to explain how to get the most out of them.
What you will find here
- Subject guides for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, English, History and Geography, explaining how each board structures its exams.
- Direct links to the papers, mark schemes and examiner reports that the exam boards publish themselves, organised by board, tier and paper.
- Practical advice on revising with past papers, using mark schemes and understanding what examiners are looking for.
Why we link rather than host
Past papers are written and owned by the exam boards, who publish them free of charge on their own websites. We link directly to those official sources so you always get the genuine, most up to date version, complete with the matching mark schemes. We check every link regularly and fix any that break.
Who runs Exam Paper Depot
Exam Paper Depot is run by Gareth Griffiths, a scientist who also runs World of Teaching, a free library of teacher made PowerPoint presentations, and The XR School, which reviews virtual and augmented reality apps for education.
Independence
