Have you looked on the school websites? There are usually examples there (there certainly are for NLCS - I had a quick look). Others will be able to tell you about the availability or not of other papers.

Thanks .. Yes, I did. They have a sample paper but I am looking for actual past papers. Not sure if it's possible to find one.

Manchester Grammar school used to post their actual past papers on their website. I know you didn't mention this particular school, but it may well be worth having a look.

NLGS just has their sample paper, no past papers. Habs girls do not even have a sample paper, CLGS have a sample paper and St Pauls have two.

Which schools are you preparing for? DG

DAOGroupie has just told you that NLCS don't have past papers. The exam was changed last year so there has only been one exam following the new format. The sample paper is all we have to go on. With regards to CLSG, they are no longer part of the consortium so they will be using a new format as well. So far no one has taken this so again, all you can go on is the sample paper on the school site. Habs do not publish papers.

My advice would be to use the consortia papers from other schools such as St Helen's Francis Holland, Channing etc, but prepare for 2 writing tasks.

Actually NLCS changed the year before so there are two past papers,

However they are clearly not releasing them as there is still only the sample paper posted two years ago now,

I would suggest you purchase DAO past papers , details on website and as KF stated use past consortium papers. DG
