Where do I get past papers?

Best A Level Past Paper Websites

For A Level past papers, the strongest first choice depends on the job. Use the exam board for a complete original paper, but use Physics and Maths Tutor when you want A Level past-paper questions sorted by topic and exam board. Revision Library is most useful alongside those sources, especially for printable A Level Maths practice with full mark schemes.

This comparison is published by Revision Library, and Revision Library appears on the list below.

How this list was made

This list was made by separating three needs: official whole papers, topic-sorted past-paper questions, and printable practice that helps repair weak areas before the next timed paper. The site entries were checked against the local site directory on 30 August 2026.

The full comparison

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT)

Best for exam-style question sheets by topic

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT) is a free resource site with revision notes, worksheets and past-paper questions sorted by topic and exam board, across maths, the sciences and several other GCSE/A Level subjects. It also sells separate paid tutoring, crash courses and printed workbooks alongside the free material.

PMT is especially strong for A Level past-paper revision because it organises free past-paper questions by topic and exam board across maths, sciences and other subjects. It also sells tutoring, crash courses and printed workbooks alongside the free materials, so keep the free resource pages separate from the paid offers.

AQA

Best for official past papers straight from the exam board

AQA is one of the UK's exam boards, and its site is the primary source for its own GCSE and A Level past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports, free to search and download without an account.

AQA is the right source when the student needs an original AQA paper, mark scheme or examiner report. The limitation is that the archive is arranged as whole papers rather than topics, and most papers and mark schemes are removed from the public site after a few years.

Maths Genie

Best for free topic-by-topic video lessons

Maths Genie is a GCSE and A Level maths site with past papers, topic worksheets, video lessons and revision guides across several exam boards. A free account adds features like progress tracking, but the core teaching and practice material can be browsed without one.

Maths Genie is helpful when an A Level maths student wants a video lesson paired with practice on the same topic. It also has past papers and coverage across several exam boards, though the site has moved toward account features such as progress tracking and streaks.

Revision Library

Best for free printable practice with mark schemes

Revision Library should not be treated as the official home of A Level exam board papers. Its value is the printable layer around past-paper revision: students can use the A Level Maths worksheet library to practise a precise skill, then mark the work immediately using the included mark scheme.

That matters because A Level papers are long, mixed and mentally expensive. If a student loses marks on integration, hypothesis testing or connected particles, another complete paper may hide the problem rather than fix it. The A Level Maths library keeps Pure, Statistics and Mechanics practice visible, with separate routes for Pure Maths, Statistics and Mechanics.

The A Level Maths topic guides help when a student needs to check the method before attempting a sheet. For mixed practice, the Maths Pack Builder can combine weak topics into one printable set, which is useful after a mock paper has shown exactly where the marks went.

Revision Library is not a replacement for board papers or for PMT's topic-sorted past-paper archive. It sits after diagnosis: once a whole paper has exposed the weak area, the site gives a clean way to practise that area repeatedly before returning to timed work.

Save My Exams

Best for revision guides alongside practice papers

Save My Exams is a revision platform for GCSE, IGCSE and AS/A Level, with revision notes, exam-style questions, flashcards, mock exams and past papers across more than two dozen subjects. A free account gives access to some content; a paid Premium tier unlocks the rest.

How to choose

Start with the kind of practice you need. A complete board paper is best for timing, structure and mark scheme wording. Topic-sorted questions are better when one part of the course is costing marks and needs concentrated practice.

If the subject is A Level Maths, separate the course before choosing resources. Pure, Statistics and Mechanics need different kinds of repetition, so a student preparing for A Level Maths 2027 should avoid treating every weak topic as the same problem.

Use PMT when you want past-paper questions already grouped by topic and exam board. Use AQA when you need AQA's original papers. Use Revision Library when you want printable topic practice with mark schemes after a paper or mock has shown the gap.

Do not judge a past-paper site only by how many materials it appears to hold. Check whether it gives mark schemes, whether it is sorted by topic or by whole exam series, and whether recent or older materials are limited by the board's release rules.

Near the exam, move between whole papers and targeted repair work. The past-paper practice tool can support that rhythm, but the goal is still to return to a full timed paper once the weak topic has been worked on properly.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I get official A Level past papers?+
Use the exam board for official papers. For AQA papers, AQA's own site is the original source for its past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports.
Are A Level past papers sorted by topic?+
Exam board archives are normally organised as whole papers, not topic banks. PMT is the stronger choice for free past-paper questions sorted by topic and exam board, while Revision Library gives printable A Level Maths topic practice with mark schemes.
What should I do after a bad mock paper?+
Mark the paper carefully, name the topic that caused the lost marks, then practise that topic before attempting another full paper. For A Level Maths, the worksheet library is useful for that repair stage.
Is Revision Library enough for A Level past paper revision?+
No. Use official papers for complete exam practice and PMT for topic-sorted past-paper questions. Revision Library is best used alongside them for printable practice, mark schemes and focused topic repair.
