A specimen paper is a special paper introduced by CIE usually to show a different types of question papers. They are usually harder than the real papers, if you do them they are good as a good practice

there is no change in the format of paper 4 or paper 2 this year, otherwise all centres would have been informed about it.
Relax, even if it was in the new format, it is not going to be a problem if you revised properly. 8)
