Download free GCSE Computer Science past papers and mark schemes for AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
We list GCSE Computer Science papers for AQA, Edexcel, OCR. Choose your exam board to see each paper with its mark scheme.
Papers differ between boards, so use the board you are entered for. Your teacher can tell you which one that is.
Go through the mark scheme and write down the topics where you dropped marks, so you know what to revise before you try another paper.

Choose a paper that matches your specification and the topics you want to assess. If you're working on a particular weakness, start with suitable questions rather than a full paper. Keep some unfamiliar papers for timed practice later.
Use the matching official mark scheme, checking the specification, year, session and paper number. For questions that accept a range of responses, read the marking criteria as well as any example answer.
They can provide extra practice on overlapping topics, but content, terminology and assessment requirements can differ. Prioritise your own specification and ask your teacher to check unfamiliar material from another board.
Some questions may still be relevant, but topics, methods and assessment requirements can change. Check each question against your current specification and use current-specification papers to practise the exam's overall structure.
Record what went wrong: missing knowledge, a misunderstood question, an incorrect method or running out of time. Revise the relevant topic, then retry the question without looking at the solution. Later, try a different question to check that you can apply what you learned.
