Practice Paper, Including New Reading Questions Paper 1 (based on 2024 paper 1 exam) Updated 2026

This is a GCSE English Language Paper 1 revision resource built around the November 2024 exam paper, fully updated for 2026, and designed to show students exactly how marks are awarded using the proven Points Make Prizes method.

Rather than teaching vague paragraph formulas or “examiner-pleasing” tricks, this resource breaks down Questions 2, 3 and 4 using real student answers from the exam, shown across nearly every grade. The answers have been carefully rewritten only to remove fluff — the ideas, quotes and quality remain unchanged — so students can clearly see what actually earns marks.
