A 110-page revision workbook for AQA GCSE English Language (8700), covering every question on Paper 1 and Paper 2, updated for the 2026 assessment changes.

Written for students sitting the exam in 2027, and for teachers who want one resource that covers the whole course.

What’s inside

Every question on both papers, question by question — what it’s asking, how to structure an answer, the common traps, and a fast method under time pressure
The 2026 changes explained: Paper 1 Q1 is now multiple choice, Q3 names a single effect, Q4 has dropped the “a student said” framing, and the narrative option asks for the opening of a story
AO1–AO6 in plain English, with the mark scheme bands and the capping rules that decide grades
A full creative writing masterclass, including an adaptable story framework with 15 worked prompt adaptations
Vocabulary banks, sentence structure and punctuation toolkits
Grade 9 strategy, recurring examiner findings, and a command word dictionary
Annotated model paragraphs at Levels 2, 3 and 4, with the improvements explained
Timing plans for both papers, including emergency timings for falling behind
Practice drills, self-marking grids and exam-day checklists
