How we link to Edexcel
Pearson does not allow its papers to be copied onto other websites. So we do not copy or list them: for each subject we give one link, to Pearson’s own past papers page for that course, where you pick the paper.
You can also browse everything on Pearson’s website. Pearson Edexcel sets out its rules on copying and linking on its own site.
