This a paper I put together using a combination of different past papers as my students had already seen the previous ones. I have also included a marking aid which has: A ‘student friendly’ mark scheme AO breakdown for each question Indicative content A brief summary of studies/sources that could be used for each question The marking aid could be printed out and then handed out to students as a student led self-assessment for their answers.

This is a resource I created after the 2018 Education mock paper with a mindmap for each of the questions and includes: A breakdown of the AO marks ‘student-friendly’ language of the mark scheme indicative content A mini summary of further studies students may have used or could use.
