Past papers
Free past papers for each subject are now available. You can also find them on each qualification page, below the 'Documents' section.
Past papers and mark schemes – revised policy
We have revised our publication policy to allow schools and colleges to use past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports as internal resources before they are available to all.
Study aids
You can also browse through our online shop for revision guides and other textbooks to help you study.
WJEC's educational and cultural role
Unlike most other Examination Awarding Bodies, WJEC has a broad educational and cultural remit which extends beyond examinations and qualifications.
If you are a student in Wales, we offer opportunities to perform on stage at the highest level with our National Youth Orchestra and National Youth Theatre, part of National Youth Arts Wales.
Wherever you are in the world, you can access the free online support we provide through NGfL Cymru (National Grid for Learning), funded by the Welsh Assembly Government. The NGfL website contains interactive educational resources for all age groups from the Early Years to Post 16.
