STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper)

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 as the basis for conditional offers. Other
universities sometimes ask candidates to take STEP as part of their offer in such
cases, the university can advise on which papers to take.

There are also a number of candidates who sit STEP papers as a challenge.

The test consists of up to three 3-hour paper-based examinations: STEP 1, STEP 2 and
STEP 3. Candidates are usually required to sit either one or two of the examinations,
depending on the requirements of the universities they have applied to.

If the school/college is a CIE centre, they may be able to register students to take the
STEP at the school/college, if the school/college decides to. If not, students will need to
register with the British Council - PLEASE ENSURE STUDENTS REGISTER EARLY
