How to practice GCSE OCR Computer Science J277 Paper 2?

I am somewhat adept at programming in Python at GCSE level, and I have revised most of the theory knowledge with flashcards. However, because of the new specification, I've already done all the papers there are available (2) with one of them being done as a mock in Year 10. Is it a bad idea to do past papers for the old specification, or is there any site to practice exam questions on? Thanks.

If you are confident in programming, the rest of the paper should be fairly trivial i.e remembering types of test data, bubble sort i guess, and maybe the harder topics might be those on translators
