Apparently there are sample papers in the 'Blue Book' which you can download from the website, but I can't open the document. Are these just a few questions rather than full papers?

In the blue book it says :

VR 85 q in 45 mins

Maths 45 q in 25 mins

And English : The English comprehension paper in the entrance examination has 41 questions to be completed in 30
minutes. Students will mark their answers on an OMR sheet which will be provided. There is also a
story which students have 15 minutes to write, following 5 minutes of planning time.

the sample practice questions that are given out in the Yorks / Lancs area tend to be just that, samples of the types and not full papers.
