Past paper
A past paper is an examination paper from a previous year or previous years, usually used either for exam practice or for tests such as University of Oxford College Collections.
Exam candidates find past papers valuable in test preparation. Some organizations responsible for holding exams have made past exam papers commercially available by either publishing the papers by themselves or licensing a publisher to do the same. For example, SAT papers in U.S. and GCSE and A level papers in UK are being sold, as well as other exams worldwide.
Many organisations and educational establishments now provide their past papers on the Internet.
At Virginia Tech, past papers are known as "Koofers", after a coffer of past papers used at Bluefield College. Undergraduate students from Virginia Tech made the term more popular and well known by creating the educational platform, Koofers.com.[1][2]
