Re: The 2013 STEP Prep Thread!Awesome, glad to find someone else wanting to do CompSci! And I think most people haven't even thought about STEP yet, so you'll still be ahead of the majority(Original post by iCiaran)
I'm with you for CompSci with maths , although I haven't looked at STEP at all yet, only just started C4 this week.

Re: The 2013 STEP Prep Thread!Hey everyone. I want to start doing some STEP work for the exams next year so that i am thoroughly prepared. Where would be a good place to start? Should i just go over past papers, because the past papers are really difficult and overwhelming when i look at them. If you've done STEP, how did you find them in the end, and where did you start?

I've done that too I'm slightly stuck and busy though.
EDIT: You might also want to keep this paper for practice before the exam! -
