10 exam practice tasks for AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2
This set of 10 carefully scaffolded exam-style questions includes a range of writing tasks (articles, letters and speeches) for a variety of audiences.
It's ideal for exam preparation and revision activities for KS4 students studying AQA GCSE English Language. Each assessment task includes prompts, sentences starters and a vocabulary bank to help students to feel more confident approaching an assessment task independently.
Perfect for timed assessments in class, for homework, or as a revision pack to share with students for independent or home study.
Each of the 10 exam tasks would also work well in a lesson context, to develop students' oracy, planning and vocabulary skills, as well as their exam skills, so you could deliver the tasks over a series of lessons or in revision classes in the run up to exams.
If you are looking for more exam-style questions, you might like 10 exam practice writing tasks for AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2 .
An example task from the resource:
Reality television shows often have nothing to do with either real people or real lives. They have a negative impact on both viewers and participants and should be banned.
Write a speech for your school assembly in which you champion or oppose this view.
Assertion/line of argument:
Below are some points you could develop in your response to the above task. Use three colours of highlighter to identify which points:
- agree with the above statement
- disagree with the above statemen
- offer a more balanced view
The quality of content in these programmes has, unfortunately, reached an all-time low. They have nothing to offer except image, gossip and conflict.
Programme makers know what the market demands and they meet that demand. You can always switch off.
The viewing figures speak for themselves.
It may seem that TV producers are remote, corporate figures, who care only about the viewing figures; however, the reality is that producers and directors are putting measures in place to protect the wellbeing of their participants.

…and they will provide all the fun you will ever need.
All the fun will ensure that your memories will be looked back on and treasured. On average 95% of teenagers have loved their new experiences and at least 80% of them want to try multiple new ones! The memories are forever and if you have no good ones, then what is there worth remembering?
So, if you aren’t convinced by the lure of great memories, then consider going somewhere with your friends. No one can deny it – going on holiday with your friends is the best type of holiday. Imagine the possibilities, the locations you can visit with your best friends; how you will be able to do what you want and how exciting it will be. Please don’t waste your childhood, explore!
Although these holidays with friends can be great, they also have their setbacks…
The students now have a firmly embedded tool with which they can approach the 40 mark question with confidence. They can write deliberately, having understood how the Form, Audience and Purpose of a piece of writing dictate their style of writing.

This is great, thank you. I’ve made this the focus of our final lesson for paper 2 (crediting you on the resources!) as it reinforces the need for a plan and brings together everything they should know, with the addition of the Janus facing sentences. This should be memorable for them and I hope will avoid the ‘where did that come from?!’ when the examiner reads each new paragraph. I’m blending this with HHELMMETS resource (can’t think of the source right now) which helps them with ideas. Ideas+structure = much improvement.

I didn’t like your comment about the SEND students. I am one myself and I am perfectly capable of answering question 5 on the paper. I got a 7 in my prelim for it. So please could you do something about this comment as affected me. There was no just cause for you to say this. Many SEND students are fully capable of being able to cope with GCSE’s and I am offended.
Never wanted to offend Catie. SEND students get a great deal of support and do very well in most cases at our school. I was talking about the students who have challenges but do not get any support. I was not discussing SEND students at all. Hope you get a good grade this summer! Kindest, John.
Thank you so much for this article. My daughter is not SEND but has not improved since year 7. She remains working at grade 3. Do you have any links to resources, pdf files or YouTube videos please? Thank you
brilliant <3
Just wanted to warn you that ‘fap’ is being used as slang for masturbation (i.e. Reddit’s NoFap community’). This may not mean anything o your students but may be worth renaming just in case! Wonderful materials though. I will definitely use the sentence examples table.
Very good but you need to give us explaination on how to plan question otherwise how would we knowwww but thanks anyways god bless you x
Very helpful thank you
