About WJEC & Eduqas Past Papers
WJEC is the exam board for Wales, offering GCSE and A Level qualifications through the medium of both English and Welsh. In 2015 it launched Eduqas as a separate brand for schools in England. The two are run by one awarding body but publish different specifications, so a WJEC paper and an Eduqas paper for the same subject are not interchangeable.
PapersDaddy provides free WJEC and Eduqas past papers from 2009–2024, including question papers, mark schemes, resource booklets and data booklets across 19 subjects. Every paper is labelled with its brand so you can match it to the specification your school actually follows.
Grading differs by brand. GCSEs sat in Wales under WJEC are graded A*–G, while Eduqas GCSEs sat in England use the 9–1 scale used by other English boards. At A Level both use A*–E, with AS Level graded A–E.
Wales also awards qualifications you will not find elsewhere. GCSE Mathematics and GCSE Mathematics – Numeracy are two separate qualifications, and most Welsh students sit both — Numeracy tests mathematics applied to real-life and workplace contexts. This archive carries both, listed separately.
WJEC papers are divided into Units and Eduqas papers into Components. This archive keeps the board's own terminology rather than renaming everything “Paper 1”, so a paper here matches the wording on your specification and timetable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WJEC and Eduqas?
WJEC is Wales's exam board. Eduqas is the same awarding body's brand for schools in England. They are not interchangeable: WJEC and Eduqas publish SEPARATE specifications, so a WJEC Unit 1 paper and an Eduqas Component 1 paper are different exams. Check which specification your school follows before revising — this archive labels every paper with its brand.
How are WJEC and Eduqas qualifications graded?
The two brands use different scales at GCSE. WJEC GCSEs sat in Wales are graded A*–G. Eduqas GCSEs sat in England are graded 9–1, in line with other English boards. At A Level both are graded A*–E, with AS Level graded A–E.
Why are WJEC papers called Units and Eduqas papers Components?
It is the board's own terminology, and this archive keeps it rather than flattening both into 'Paper 1'. WJEC (Wales) splits a course into Units; Eduqas (England) splits it into Components. Searching for the right word makes it much easier to match a paper to your specification.
What is GCSE Mathematics – Numeracy?
Wales awards two separate maths GCSEs: Mathematics, and Mathematics – Numeracy, which tests maths applied to real-life and workplace contexts. Most Welsh students sit both. England's Eduqas brand has no Numeracy equivalent. This archive carries both, labelled separately.
Are these WJEC past papers free?
Yes. Every WJEC and Eduqas past paper and mark scheme on PapersDaddy is free to download as a PDF, with no signup required.
Which WJEC subjects and years are available?
The archive currently covers GCSE and A Level across the sciences, mathematics, English, humanities and computer science, with question papers and mark schemes. It is growing — subjects and sessions are added as they are released.
