All Rights Reserved.  \nAll AQA publications (and those of its predecessors, The Northern Examining and Assessment Board, Associated Examining Board and the Southern Examining Group) - including, for example, specifications, question papers, mark schemes, coursework guidelines and marking criteria and chief examiners'reports-are subject to copyright and may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written consent of AQA.  \nAQA require a minimum of four working weeks to process applications and will take seriously publication of any AQA material without permission. Please note that during the summer months (June to late August) the examination process takes priority at AQA. In order to avoid delays it is strongly recommended that authors and publishers do not send requests for copyright permission to AQA at this time; if this cannot be avoided, requests should be submitted earlier as they are likely to take a longer period to process.  \nAQA will not allow questions to be reproduced before they are available on the AQA website, so a period of at least one year should be allowed between the date of the examination and reproduction in a published work.  \nIt is not possible to give permission for the reproduction of specimen questions as they have not been tested in a live examination situation and have not undergone the usual rigorous checking procedure. The only exception to this rule will be in the case of entirely new specifications where there is no other material available.  \nPublishers applications must be accompanied by copies of the questions/material they wish to use: this will speed up the checking process.  \nAll AQA approved publications must comply with the AQA conflict of interest policy. See below.  \nQuestion papers and mark schemes  \nAQA will not grant blanket permission to authors or publishers to reproduce unspecified  \nquestions/schemes or complete question papers but will consider written requests relating to individual questions/schemes under the following conditions:  \n• Questions may not be quoted in books which consist wholly or even mainly of exercises, questions  \n• and/or question papers. In addition they may not be used in books which AQA considers to be overtly exam-focused.  \n• AQA material must be for use in books related to AQA examinations.  \n• Questions may not be altered.  \n• Where worked solutions to questions and/or commentaries on the questions or possible answers are  \n• provided, it must be made clear that the author is responsible for the solutions and that  \n• they have neither been provided nor approved by AQA.  \n• they may not necessarily constitute the only possible solutions.  \n• Any permission given cannot and does not extend to any material within a question which is held in copyright by another body. (This is normally indicated on the examination paper or in the Acknowledgements Booklet.)  \n• AQA does not grant permission for the reproduction of complete examination papers.  \n• Applications will be considered for permission to reproduce up to 50% of the number of questions of an individual examination paper. This rule also applies to AQA approved products.  \n• An acknowledgement of AQA's permission must be made in the published book and each individual question should be followed by the letters AQA together with the year of the examination from which the question is quoted.  \n• In addition where mark schemes are used, publishers must include the following text nearby: ‘For the latest mark schemes, please also refer to the AQA website’.  \n• Requests made to AQA for permission to reproduce examination material must give precise details of the examination (e.g. GCSE, AS, A-level), year, subject, specification, paper, section and  \n• question number.  \n• Requests made to AQA for permission to reproduce questions should state the title, author and publisher of ","cbCaiclnImJ9Jze9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiclnImJ9Jze9","pdf",151635,"English","# General\n## Copyright ownership and reproduction restrictions\n## Application processing time and timing windows\n## Limits on question and specimen materials\n## Conflict of interest compliance\n# Question papers and mark schemes\n## Conditions for permission and prohibited uses\n## Requirements for acknowledgements and marking-scheme text\n## Required details in permission requests\n## Limits on extracts and refusal rights\n# Examiners reports and specifications\n## Extract allowances and cautions about outdated specifications\n# Fees\n## Administrative charges for reproducing questions and extracts","[{\"question\":\"How long does AQA need to process applications for permission to use its materials?\",\"answer\":\"AQA requires at least four working weeks to process applications.
