HELLPPP

My English language exam is on Tuesday and I can't find any past papers anywhere for edexel for the paper I am doing. I know the layout of the paper but I wanted to do some practice essays before the exam. Any suggestions on where I can find some?? I have tried the Edexel website but for some reson it won't give me the correct papers.

Yeah sorry. I thought there might have been a January 2016 paper but i think that's only for IGCSE.

You want Edexcel GCSE English Language right

This is the June 2015 one. Is this what you're looking for?

Why have you got Literature texts in the reading section for the Language Edexcel paper? I did Of Mice and Men for English Literature rather than Language.

Are you doing Edexcel IGCSE or GCSE English as opposed to GCSE English Language?

I do WJEC English Language and did Of Mice and Men for GCSE English Literature so was wondering why Edexcel have the text on their Language paper.

My English teacher said looking at past papers was good for getting to know the layout but the same question definitely won't come up more than once so you could be better off making up you own questions that suit the layout.
