Try the Sevenoaks, Dulwich College and Manchester Grammar School papers. Also St Paul’s Girls School. Main tip is to work fast - the big mark questions are towards the end.

Re: Practice papers for Alleyn’s
JAGs sample papers are also pretty good practice?
The key is to look through the paper quickly to see where the big marks are - as Grgy says the English paper typically has some big mark questions at the end of the comprehension so better to skip the time consuming 1 mark questions and focus on the 10 markers is time is tight. Not so for the maths papers -the last 2-3 questions are scholarship level and too hard for most kids. So better to focus on getting the rest right and not to waste time on those - think the paper even says something along those lines?
