Click on the button above to download a past exam paper for GCSE English Language Paper 2 (2022) that includes guidance for each task. I put it together for my Year 11 wards, so it doesn’t include the [changes](https://www.aqa.org.uk/news/gcse-english-language-updates-to-our-assessments-for-summer-2026) that are due to be implemented next summer.
