How the Past Papers work
Every past paper question has a corresponding webpage that has the mark scheme and
worked solutions for that particular question. There are also helpful links to content for the
concepts used to answer the question, quizzes that you can use to try some of the concepts
and similar past paper questions. An example of a webpage for a question is given below:
How to get to the webpage
Every past paper question has a QR code next to it, such as:
You can get to the corresponding webpage in 3 different ways:
1) Scanning the QR code with the camera on a smart phone or tablet.
2) Typing the code that is underneath the QR code at the end of www.elevise.co.uk/. For
this question, the code is AP15A, so you would type www.elevise.co.uk/AP15A into
the address bar to obtain the webpage. If you would like to see the question rather
than the answers, you change the A at the end of the code to a Q; you would type
www.elevise.co.uk/AP15Q
3) Clicking on the QR code if you are viewing the past paper as a PDF or on a web
browser.
