    You won't need back that far.
    All exam syllabi (pl?) has been changed at least once since then, so you more than likely wouldn't need past it.

    My Irish teacher gave us the comprehensions from 1980 in a booklet, she wasn't even born then herself I'd say but sourced them. She also has a booklet for English but we don't have her. I asked her though and she's going to print out a copy for me. Then and the listenings are all we need from that subject. Don't waste time going too far back, mocks are more uptodate although often really off form the syllabus. What subject do you want them for?

    Ancient exam papers are only useful for Chem and Ag science in my experience. Ag because the syllabus hasn't been changed in 7,000 years, and chem because in the new syllabus, questions have been copied and pasted from the likes of 1979 and such. Don't have a clue how you'd get the papers mind!

    I'd add physics to that. Despite the syllabus changes, there's still repeats in questions on certain topics. Our teacher has questions going back to the 80's and some of them have basically been repeated in recent exams :P - he uses them mainly to make us aware of tricks that can be used.

    And applied maths too... Any applied maths teacher will have papers going back decades though.
    It really depends on your subject whether ancient past papers would be useful. You can buy past mock papers here:

    i seem to gather from the OP that you have done all the exam questions in all the years back to 1995.. every teacher has a booklet of all the pre papers from now to way back so why dont you ask them will they photocopy a few years for you to do! :)
