Are they practice papers or practise papers?

With an s. Otherwise, they'd belong to a doctor or solicitor!

I disagree! It's with a "c". It would only be with an "s" if the word "practise" were being used as a verb, but here it's a noun (or perhaps adjective).

Practice papers. Practise is only used as a verb whereas in this case, it is being used as an adjective.

C

MortenHasNiceShirts · 04/05/2011 11:34

Definitely a c. C for noun, s for verb.

TheVisitor · 04/05/2011 11:35

Most definitely a C

it's a C - Practice Papers.

practise is a verb.

you practise the questions in the practice papers.
