STEP Support Programme

New STEP II modules!

We've just published two STEP II modules (in time for you to enjoy working on them over the Christmas break!).

The STEP II papers share the same syllabus as STEP I, but the questions tend to be harder. We therefore recommend that you should prepare by working through the first 17 Foundation modules before tackling these. From January onwards, we'll continue releasing weekly Foundation modules alongside more STEP II modules, and we recommend that if your offer includes STEP II you work on both module streams concurrently.

Each STEP II module consists of a selection of STEP II questions, together with hints and solutions. The modules also contain "topic notes" which consists of useful formulae you should be aware of, together with some general hints and advice. As always, you're very warmly welcome to use the discussion forum to ask for help and pointers.

STEP III modules will follow in spring 2017...
