Practice questions build skills, but nothing prepares you for exam day like sitting a real past paper — and nothing wastes one like never finding out what your answers were actually worth. PeddyLoop mock exams let you sit genuine AQA and Edexcel papers in the app and have every question marked against the official mark scheme, finishing with a grade estimate.
Real papers, not lookalikes
The mock exam library holds over one hundred genuine A-Level and GCSE past papers across Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, from the June 2018 series through June 2024, for both AQA and Edexcel.
You sit the paper inside the app: the question paper is displayed in the built-in viewer, and you work through it on paper exactly as you would in the exam hall.
Upload answers straight from your phone
When you finish a question, photograph your written answer and attach it — either through the file picker or by scanning a QR code with your phone, which sends the photo straight into the right question without cables or transfers.
Every answer stays organised per question, so the marking that follows can tell you exactly where each mark was won or lost.
Three ways to get marked
Self-marking is free: the official mark scheme is displayed alongside your uploaded answers so you can mark your own paper properly.
AI marking goes further: our most capable AI model marks every question against the extracted mark scheme, awarding method marks the way an examiner would and explaining each deduction. AI marking uses the monthly credits included in Base and Pro plans, or a one-off purchase of £1.99 per paper on any plan.
A grade, not just a score
Marked papers land in a results dashboard: a per-question breakdown with traffic-light colour coding, your percentage score, written AI commentary, and a grade estimate mapped to the GCSE 9-1 or A-Level A*-U scale.
Sit papers across a term and you can watch the estimated grade move — which is the number that actually matters.
How to use mocks well
Sit the paper under timed conditions, away from your notes. Upload as you go rather than in a rush at the end. Then spend as long reading the feedback as you spent sitting the paper — the marks you dropped are next week's revision list.
Teachers and parents can see mock attempts, scores, and grade estimates from their own dashboards, so everyone works from the same picture.
