Is is advantageous to do STEP 1 in the lower 6?

It's not risky, in that you're not obliged to declare it on UCAS. However, you could risk messing up your other ASs for little gain if you aren't careful.

Personally, if you're getting 95%+ in class tests, I'd say go for it. Have you tried many STEP questions yet?

Oh it's you again.

As I am an old fart can you please explain the joke.
Am I meant to read something else at the bottom?

dw I don't get it either
The picture's still pretty funny nonetheless.

I think the joke is y = mx + c is a linear function (i.e. a straight line) and typically forming a queue involves lining up in a straight line

How risky is it?
I'm a further maths student that wants to do maths at uni

I'm not sure what a "lower 6" is, but if it means first year in sixth form then my answer would be yes (if you're doing good in maths). I'm actually doing the same this year, I'm going to do STEP I and II, and if I feel very confident III.

STEP 3 in Y12? And I thought I was being ballsy by doing STEP 1

That's why doing all FP's isn't really difficult for me. That's why I'm thinking about STEP III, plus I still don't see the difference in difficulty between the steps, yeah it's more material, but the questions aren't trickier or anything

Yeah I've always been ahead of the school when it comes to maths (and physics). That's why doing all FP's isn't really difficult for me. That's why I'm thinking about STEP III, plus I still don't see the difference in difficulty between the steps, yeah it's more material, but the questions aren't trickier or anything. I find them all frustrating and difficult btw. Which A levels are you doing btw?

Oh it's you again.

If your serious about step differentiating xy=1 should not give you any trouble by any method http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3144179 best not kid yourself

Lol i saw that aswell. I was like what? And this guy is confident in step 3?

I'm doing maths, further maths, physics and economics. I also like to study ahead - I'm currently doing FP3 - but I doubt I'll feel confident with STEP 3 until June 2016!

No i was not having trouble differentiating that, the question was about something else, did you actually read what I wrote. It doesn't work like that. Also...


I said IF I felt confident. As I said, I don't see the difference between the steps themselves, NOT between a levels and steps.
