Mock Papers

Mock papers are GCSE and A Level exam-style practice papers designed to mirror the format, structure, and question style of real exams. They help you practise applying your knowledge, get used to working under timed conditions, and build confidence ahead of your exams.

Our GCSE mock papers and A Level mock papers are developed by subject specialists and designed to replicate the structure and style of real exams, giving you realistic exam practice.

No – mock papers and past papers serve different purposes. Past papers are the official exam papers from previous years, while mock papers are newly created to simulate the experience of sitting a real GCSE or A Level exam.

Mock papers are designed for realistic exam practice across a range of topics, rather than focusing on predicting specific content. Predicted papers use exam trends to suggest what may come up, whereas mock papers are designed to help you practise exam technique and performance under timed conditions.

Yes, our GCSE and A Level mock papers are tailored to individual exam boards, so the content, structure, and question types closely follow real GCSE and A Level exams.

A Level and GCSE mock papers are available for leading exam boards, including AQA and OCR (A) for A Level, and AQA and Edexcel for GCSE. You can explore what’s available on the Resources platform. 

To get the most out of A Level and GCSE mock papers, sit them under timed exam conditions without interruptions to simulate a real exam. Once complete, mark your answers using the mark scheme or model solutions and review any mistakes carefully. Use your results to identify gaps in your knowledge, improve your timing, and refine your exam technique. You can then revisit weaker topics and practise similar questions to build confidence and consistency.

Practising with mock papers can help you develop exam technique, improve time management, and build confidence. Once you’ve identified areas for improvement, you can focus your revision on these topics to strengthen your understanding. Mock exam papers are most effective when used alongside other revision methods, such as past papers, flashcards, and mind maps.

Our GCSE mock exam papers are currently available for Higher Tier maths and science students. This includes AQA Higher Tier Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Combined Science, as well as Edexcel Higher Tier Maths.

You can access our A Level and GCSE mock papers by creating a free PMT account. This allows you to explore personalised content for your subjects, levels, and exam boards, along with tools to track your progress over time.

All A Level Science mock papers include both mark schemes and model answers, while the A Level Maths mock papers include model solutions only. The GCSE mock papers include model answers or solutions, but do not include mark schemes.

Absolutely! Teachers and tutors can use mock exam papers for lessons, homework, or running in-class mock exams as part of structured exam preparation.
