And if someone does this for you ... how exactly are you going to be able to explain the answers to your pupil???
If you don't know enough to know the answers yourself I imagine that it will be quite difficult.
When someone is working past papers in the run up to an eaxm they need to know WHY a certain answer is right and how to get a similar question right on their own.
There is more to grade 8 theory than memorising answers to questions. The variety in the way the questions are asked is quite extensive. I worked through about 6 full sets of past papers when I prepared for this exam and don't think I came across a 'same' question at all.

Why throw so much work on other people (even if you are prepared to pay their fees)?
Maybe better to offer to work the papers, scan them and ask if someone will look at what you've done. (Not me, I'm not ready for grade 8 yet).
Isn't there a local teacher who could help?

100% agree with #2 and #3.
Surely the only way forward is to learn how to answer the questions yourself. I am bound to say that it helps none to maintain good standards in music if you're trying to teach something you know too little about.
Please, have a go at learning it all for yourself. If you really aren't able to answer any of the questions easily and readily, you might as well give the text books to your student.
You have a lot to learn too - it isn't just a question of filling in blanks with Q1. You have to know things like what you can and can't leave out (tastefully) in the harmony. How will you explain such things to a student?

For those who missecthe question in its original form....
The poster was asking for this information because she has taken on a pupil for grade 8 theory but is unsure of the answers herself.
