You can almost just make your own by looking around the forum and grabbing questions relevant to your needs. Part C is a bit harder though but I'm sure there is a list somewhere of articles to analyze.

In terms of the text response and contexts sections, I suggest you take a look around Essay Topics Megathread and pick out the topics that you are least comfortable with when you first look at them. Excuse my language, but choose the topic that makes you think, "Fu**, that would tear me a new one if that was on the exam!" and write your pieces on them. The wider variety of topics that you introduce yourself to that you aren't comfortable with, the better you will get and there won't be many topics that they can throw at you which you wouldn't have seen at all.

That is just the opinion of another current year 12 student, though, it's entirely upto you whether you take anything I said into consideration at all :).

Best of luck.
