All 6 AQA GCSE Computer Science (8520) papers from the June 2019 session are available on this page. You'll find 2 question papers and 2 mark schemes. Download any file instantly — these are the same official papers sat by students worldwide in 2019.

The June series is the main annual examination sitting for AQA GCSE and A Level in England. Results are released in August, and this series is used for university conditional offer fulfillment. AQA releases past papers publicly approximately nine months after the examination.

AQA filenames encode the tier directly: H = Higher, F = Foundation. For tiered subjects, always download the tier you are entered for. Mark schemes (`W-MS`) for AQA match exactly to their QP counterpart by paper number and tier — e.g., `AQA-85202F-QP` pairs with `AQA-85202F-W-MS`.

Past papers are most useful as diagnostic tools rather than just extra practice. After completing each paper, sort your errors into three categories: topics you don't know well enough, question types where your technique needs work, and topics where you lost marks to careless mistakes. Each category needs a different fix — content review, technique drill, or exam discipline respectively.

Questions, answered.

This session includes 2 question papers and 2 mark schemes, plus 2 other resources. All files are official AQA exam papers.

Match by paper number and tier. QP (Question Paper) files pair with W-MS (Mark Scheme) files that have the same paper number and tier suffix. For example, AQA-85201H-QP matches with AQA-85201H-W-MS.

H = Higher tier (targeting grades 9-4) and F = Foundation tier (targeting grades 5-1). Make sure you download papers for your entered tier. The paper number appears before the tier letter — so 85201H means Paper 1 Higher, 85202F means Paper 2 Foundation.

Yes, these are the official past examination papers from AQA. They are the same papers that were sat by students in the June 2019 exam session.
