Anyone know where to find some practice papers for the Classics Admissions Tests or Language Aptitude Tests from Oxford?

There is the one specimen, I've already seen, but I heard some people have access to more than that as practice?

I believe Oxford will only ever have a specimen paper on the website. Schools may collect papers from previous years, or you may be able to ask the Classics department if they have past papers from previous years, but I'm not sure whether they'd be able to send you anything. Maybe ask your teacher?

There used to be two on the Classics faculty website - but they've changed the page to a link to the oxford website with the specimen paper.

If you're doing the LAT part you might be able to find some more if you search for the MLAT papers.

Saying that, the test is designed so that practice won't help that much!

Do you know where I can find more MLAT papers (than the specimen on their website)?

Well, there's more to it than practice - it's a guide for what mental state we should put ourselves in! Having the specimen is way better than nothing but if you spend too long staring at it you'll get too familiar, and the real thing will feel very different.
