    Does any one know where I could find a collection of past exam papers for maths (including supplemental papers)?

    I have tried the online exam archive but it is somewhat incomplete and doesn't have an supplemental papers. I would really appreciate any help on this

    Supplemental exams are not generally made available. If any annual exams are missing from the site you could check with your School office and see if they can provide them.

    What year and courses are you looking for? Sometimes the lecturers make Supplemental and Sample exam papers available on their own webspaces...also, I remember coming across some page on the maths website that had broken links going to exams papers for many years back, which nevertheless makes me hopeful that they still exist online somewhere.

    You probably came across the following page: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/local/maths_exams/

    I sampled a few of the PostScript links, which seemed to be OK. I note though that the PDF links to early papers that I tried seemed broken.

    Supplemental papers are rarely made available.

    The pdfs seemed to work fine for me (with the exception of about two years) when I was logged on to the tcd server.

    I had in mind the purported links to PDF versions of 1995, 1996 and 1997 papers. I get a '404 File not found' when I click on those links.

    Ah, I didn't try accessing those PostScript links from behind the college proxy. Still, I imagine any exam paper older than a couple of years serves little purpose other than historical interest.

    Unless it's from a course which doesn't change much... that said, I've only ever personally used the papers which are accessible via the normal route, and it's served me grand.
