The mark schemes for the 2015-2018 papers are available from Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing, bundled in with the past papers (note that the "mark scheme" tab is just for the 2011 STEP 1 mark scheme!). The examiners reports are also well worth reading.

Mark schemes for 2013 and 2014 can be found here.

Hi all!

I'm not sure if this counts as self-plugging, but I've put up a central repository containing a collation of STEP past papers, with their markschemes, examiner reports and hints and solutions where available as well as a handy questions spreadsheet, links and explanations of various things, and a copy of Siklos' Booklets (both the old and new ones). It's nothing new, but I certainly found it useful to have everything in one place when I was studying.

This forum is for discussing the assignments in the STEP Support Programme and any other aspects of STEP, studying maths at university, etc.

The assignments here are intended to increase your confidence at solving hard maths questions, and also introduce you to some interesting puzzles and areas of maths that might be useful.

As a very rough guide we would recommend those aiming to sit STEP III in the summer of 2018 to work through the assignments to this approximate timetable:

This site uses MathJax to render Maths. It is basically $\LaTeX$ (that's Latex in case you find that hard to read) and there are lots of tutorials on the internet that you can use.

To type in a formula you need to surround it with dollar signs, i.e. $...$. x squares would be x^2 etc, or with the dollar signs around it it becomes $x^2$.

(You might also need to set the Text format to "Full HTML").
