unfortuantely, the problem with latin trial papers is that 55% of it isn't relevant!
As the book of the Aeneid you study changes every year, Section 2 is generally irrelevant, unless you're lucky and can somehow find a copy of an old paper which is on the same book as you were. For example last year we did Book 1, and that hadn't been tested for the last 15-20 years!

All that said, you would still be able to do the unseens, but I would probably leave those till a little later in the year, when you have a firmer grasp on some of grammatical constructions!

If you're still keen after all that, the vcaa site has exams for the last 10ish years

As Somye said, the problem with the past VCAA papers is that most of it isn't relevant, being based on that year's book of The Aeneid. However, the unseens from the current study deisgn VCAA past exams are still excellent to do under timed conditions.

Furthermore, each year Xavier College produces a number of trial exams (last year there were either three or four in total, if I remember correctly). However, I'm unsure how you would go about ascertaining these; our classes at MGS, for instance, were given them by our teacher, who was in contact with the Xavier teacher.

Other than those, I don't know of any other trial exams which exist, unfortunately! For Latin they aren't too vital though, to be honest, so don't worry too much; it's not like Methods or something where you want to have done lots and lots of papers.
