STEP Maths Courses & Tutoring
Introduction
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, the University of Warwick, University College London, Imperial College London and others. Other universities sometimes ask candidates to take STEP as part of their offer. There are also a number of candidates who sit STEP papers as a challenge.
STEP Course
At Edgbaston Education, we offer comprehensive preparation courses aimed at enhancing your knowledge and skills for successful STEP exams. These courses are specifically structured to provide you with the tools you need to excel in your exams. We offer a STEP 2 course and a STEP 3 course. These are run back to back, with the idea being that students who are sitting both exams can sit both courses, which are designed to be complementary.
Each course is comprised of ten weekly online sessions, each lasting two hours. Additionally, there is a three-hour formal mock exam and individualised feedback provided. Students are also provided with 20 hours of homework assignments throughout the duration of the course.
Both courses involve teaching relevant content, developing problem-solving skills, practice questions in groups, practice questions individually, and marking and reviewing work. The focus of both courses is to teach students how to think like a mathematician, which is what STEP requires. Both courses then finish with a full mock exam for which detailed actionable feedback will be given. Each student will then receive a detailed report intended to structure their revision going forwards. Students will also be set around three hours of homework each week, which is a crucial part of the programme.
In both STEP 2 and STEP 3 students choose which questions they will attempt. Therefore we split both the shorter and longer courses into two parts: core sessions which all students attend and will find beneficial, and then breakout sessions for which students decide between two alternative sessions.
