Past paper's arn't that important to DO, except Maths. Its much more efficient to just look at, and think (plan extended responses as well) about the questions as well. Quality of study > Quantity.

Maths done about 40-50 past papers.
For the sciences I dont actually do the past papers.
I just plan my response or read up the ntoes corresponding to that question so I understand it better.
English well its just memorising..

I've done 97-08 papers in maths, for the other subjects i don't really do many past papers. But for the humanities, I look at which essays they've asked recently and how often they ask questions on certain topics eg. for economics they haven't asked an essay on Microeconomic policy since 2002

for 2U maths i've done 1995 to 2007, and it REALLY helped im really glad i did them. moved my mark up by about 10-15%. but i think maths is the only subject where they are REALLY helpful.

if you do english past papers, you are pretentious, nuff said.

but any others i guess theyre pretty helpful. the more sciency/mathsy, the better, cos you can easily mark it yourself. english, history etc. not much point doing past papers.

man my hand really hurts after the business test today, hope its alright for english tomorrow :S
