Test Format
The syllabus for STEP I and STEP II is based on Mathematics A level content whilst the syllabus for STEP III is based on Further Mathematics A level. The questions on STEP II and III are intended to be of about the same difficulty, and both are harder than STEP I. Candidates are only expected to have knowledge of topics within the A level syllabus. Candidates who are not studying Further Mathematics will not be expected to sit STEP III.
Lined answer sheets and a formula booklet are provided for each paper. From June 2009 graph paper is no longer to be used by candidates in the STEP examinations as all the graphs required are sketches, it is neither necessary nor appropriate for candidates to produce detailed graphs on graph paper. Instead all graphs should be sketched inside the answer booklets alongside their answer to the question.
Calculators may not be used during STEP.

“It is the test of a novel writer’s art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there.”
