OCR past papers
Free OCR past papers for GCSE and A Level: 10 subjects, listed by series, with mark schemes and examiner reports. Every link opens on OCR’s website.
What is free: OCR first gives each series to schools for mock exams. About 14 months after the exam, it goes on OCR’s public site and stays there for at least five years, and longer for maths and science.
What is held back: Until then, the most recent series are for teachers only, on OCR’s Teach Cambridge site.

How we link to OCR
OCR asks that links go through its own website rather than straight to its files. So each link here opens OCR’s past papers page for that qualification, where you pick the paper.
You can also browse everything on OCR’s website. OCR sets out its rules on copying and linking on its own site.
