STEP Questions Database

This database has questions from the 1986 Specimen papers to 2018. For more recent papers you can download these from the OCR STEP website. The "Topic" box will search for the main topic of the question (for example "inequalities", and the "Search" box will search for all the questions which have this topic somewhere in the question. If you search for "C1" in the topic box you will find the questions which do not need much A-level knowledge.

Browse the folder of past STEP papers. This folder contains all the STEP papers from 1987 to 2018, along with some of the markschemes and solutions (some of the older papers do not have mark schemes available).
