Language & Literature in English (AS) 8695
Oct/Nov 2025 past papers and mark schemes

About this sitting

The Oct/Nov 2025 sitting of Cambridge International AS & A Level Language & Literature in English (AS) 8695 has 6 question papers, 6 mark schemes and the grade thresholds on file. Tap QP for a question paper or MS for its mark scheme. They open on the desk, where you can write on them.

Papers ending in 1, 2 and 3 (41, 42, 43) are the same paper set for different time zones, so any of them is fair practice.

The reference printed on each paper, and the names its files go by:
