Private tutors - do you photocopy practice test papers?

I have been approached by a few parents asking me to tutor their children who are hoping to pass grammar school entrance exams.

I have tutored in the past so am happy to do this. However I've just bought some practice papers hoping to photocopy the questions to use as practice for the 4 children I'm tutoring but the papers are copyrighted. Short of buying 4 separate packs (which are expensive) does anyone have any suggestions or experience that they can share on how to get around this?

You could copy out the questions long-hand and then photocopy your own writing.

Pass on the cost of the papers to the parents.
Or use the practice paper questions as a basis to write your own questions at the same level with different numbers and details.
I write fiction texts for 11+ papers and would be really miffed if I found you'd breached copyright on my work. Don't do it.

My DS1's tutor asked us to buy the books.
