    Rahul, I can safely say STEP is taking over your life
    tbh I'm quite surprised as Wenger tends to sign 2nd division French players with no track record.

    Less than 10 minutes per question? That's approximately 2.4375 \times Speleo where Speleo is the SI unit of STEP

    Interesting, found an IA section II question which is almost identical to a STEP III question I did the other day.

    this wouldn't be an integration question?

    I think he pops up closer to the exam dates . In any case, look at his previous exam threads for the exams; he's got loads of stuff on them.
