Project Description

Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP)

STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper) MATHEMATICS is a well-established mathematics examination designed to test candidates on questions that are similar in style to undergraduate mathematics.

STEP is used by the University of Cambridge, the University of Warwick and Imperial College London.

Most universities sometimes ask candidates to take STEP as part of their offer – in such cases, the university can advise on which papers to take.

STEP Test format

From 2021, STEP 1 will no longer exist and only STEP 2 and STEP 3 will remain.

The test consists of up to two 3-hour paper-based examinations. Candidates are usually required to sit either one or two of the examinations, depending on the requirements of the universities they have applied to.

Graph paper is not needed, as the test requires only sketches, not detailed graphs.

There is no longer a formulae booklet for STEP Mathematics examinations.
