Hi PP,
welcome to the Essex forum.There are a few threads on here about the English papers in Essex.They are fairly unusual compared to what is sold in bookshops.If you haven't already done so, get as many papers as you can afford from the CSSE. (google it) They are the actual past papers.
Other than that you will see that other people make up their own in the style of the CSSE ones and use the comprehension section of the Bond 12+ papers.
Very often the comprehensions have been based on classics such as "Mill On The Floss" or "Tess of the D'Urbevilles".It is a good idea to share read a classic like "David Copperfield" together and discuss/ keep a log of vocabulary.
Hope that helps.You are welcome to pm me.
