I recommend you ask your functional skills tutors to tell you which examiner they use and give you access to practice assessments. There are several different examiners that provide functional skills exams and their papers are quite different.

If your college uses Edexcel, they have a choice to offer either paper based tests or online computer based tests. There are Edexcel Practice Papers here

The other common examiner is City and Guilds. You will find some of their sample assessment materials here
