Question papers and mark schemes
If you're an approved examination centre, you don't need to get our permission to reproduce or make available past papers and mark schemes, provided you observe the following conditions:
- You only use photocopies and print-outs from web downloads or CD-ROMs for practice examinations or revision or for teaching purposes within the centre.
- You don't charge students or anyone else for any of these materials.
Certain papers that contain material copyrighted by third parties may not be made available to you in whole or in part for revision purposes because those copyright owners have not given permission for use beyond the original examination. |

Intranets and microsites
You may save copies of Edexcel materials onto your centre's intranet or microsite provided you observe the following conditions:
- These intranets or microsites are for use by the centre community only and cannot be accessed publicly.
- Materials are used for the purposes of instruction only.
- Materials are not copied for a different use outside the centre.
- Materials are not offered for sale in any format.
- The integrity of the original materials is maintained - for example, meanings are not changed and items remain unabridged.
- Past question papers and mark schemes are retained on intranets or microsites for no longer than 5 years after the examination series for which the question paper was produced.
- Your centre is responsible for ensuring that if Edexcel issues an updated or amended version of a document (for instance a specification) this must replace the earlier version on your intranet.
You may be asked to confirm that you have observed all the above conditions. |
