Tell us what you needHow the AQA papers work
AQA GCSE English Language (8700). Two exam papers of equal weight, plus spoken language, which is reported separately.
| Paper | What's in it | Time | Marks | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing | Reading one literature fiction text; descriptive or narrative writing | 1 hour 45 minutes | 80 | 50% |
| Paper 2: Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives | Reading one non-fiction and one literary non-fiction text; writing to present a viewpoint | 1 hour 45 minutes | 80 | 50% |
What to know about AQA
- Each paper is half reading and half writing: 40 marks for each.
- In both papers the writing task is marked out of 40: 24 for content and 16 for technical accuracy.
- Spoken language is set and marked by the teacher and reported as a separate endorsement. It doesn't count towards the grade.
From AQA
Checked against: AQA 8700 specification v1.6 (March 2026).
AQA GCSE English Language: common questions
Does my child need a tutor who knows AQA?
It helps. AQA's two papers split reading and writing evenly, and the question types and marks are the same every year, so timed practice on AQA papers pays off. Every tutor on this page lists AQA for GCSE English Language.
Where can I find AQA past papers?
AQA publishes past papers and mark schemes on its own website: https://www.aqa.org.uk/find-past-papers-and-mark-schemes
How much does a GCSE English Language tutor cost?
Each tutor sets a flat price per hour-long lesson, from £40. You pay per lesson when you book, with no membership or agency fee.
