Dorothy is right on a counts.
You will find that on this site we must have attempts for almost all of the last15 years. They do vary in quality but there is always feedback- where the answer is on the weak side I certainly don't point out every anomaly but do try to address a the major items.
The fact that the papers are old is really of little consequence; the bigger problem perhaps for other utilising for studying is that they use quite a wide range of CT blanks; actually Dorothy is doing a sterling job of doing some of the older papers using the recent CT blank. However I do have to say that if you are easily thrown by the different types of presentation then that is indicative that you are not really understanding the underlying Signalling Principles and you are not ready for the exam, but you are still at the early stage of learning during which you are mechanically attempting to put entries in boxes without full comprehension.
Certainly no set of worked examples for each past paper; there are a few. In fact the IRSE has been a bit spasmodic in producing examples for all module papers and I can't recall the last ones covering CTs; however the plan now is to phase out the DVD, make material available on the IRSE website and, over the next few years, build up the bank of worked answers.

I also arrange for more experienced work colleages to review my work.
AFAIK there is no set of worked answers for each past paper, and although you will find a few on the Exam DVD, they are rather old.
Certainly happy to have another look but it won't be for several days.
