Release specimen papers and grade boundaries for English GCSE's

Petition Details

Sat in year 11 and I don't know anything about English GCSE's. We are getting our work marked at a B/A grade but it's coming back as a level 2/3.
I personally think this is a disgrace as I've sat year 11 being older than everyone else and I'm still struggling to figure out what I'm expected.

Additional Information

AQA exam board for GCSE
They haven't released anything for any teacher in the whole country to go by, and this is a massive disadvantage to all students as we don't know what our work is graded at and what to tell colleges and sixth forms for when we leave school in 2/3 months time.
