I cannot provide past papers for you through this site (so please don't ask me!) since CIE owns the copyright to these documents.
However, some past exam papers (theory and practical) along with mark schemes can be downloaded from the CIE site.

The practical exam mark schemes are really useful to see exactly what the examiners are expecting you to produce.
But beware! The theory exam mark schemes contain bulleted lists of keywords that the examiners are looking for. If you only write these keywords you will not get the marks!
