If you want papers the exact way they are done in your paper you will do, use 2019 onwards. For example if you are timing yourself and sitting down with no distractions for the full 2 hours or whatever it is I'd use a 2019+ paper

However the questions on the earlier ones are still fine! Just not always worded or awarded marks in the same way. So I would use these papers for the odd question here and there - maybe print out a 2009-2018 paper and fill them in as you do, maybe a couple questions a day. This is because the question content is good but the questions themselves are not exactly how they will appear in your test :smile:

This also means if there are any questions you don't think are in your current specification, it'll be okay to cut it out and not worry about them :smile:
