They're STEP grades - it goes S (highest), 1, 2, 3, fail. Cambridge normally want a "1" on the two hardest STEP papers - II and III - which is "1,1", but it seems a fair few S,S offers have come out this year
Well when you get your grades back for STEP, you can get either and S, 1, 2 or 3 (S highest, 3 lowest pass, below U) where 11 is the standard offer (and S is exceptional) So if you get an SS/S1 offer that's quite harsh, and if you get a 12 offer that can be nice. 11 is usually the standard offer. I needed 11 last year and I got 33 for STEP
Ahhhh i seee....thanks for clearing that up guys I dont do STEP So.... :/
Condolences to those rejected, I'm sure you will excel elsewhere and good luck to those pooled! And I add my congratulations to all the Cambridge Maths Offer Holders!
And once we, hopefully, overcome the final hurdle of the conditions, I look forward to the light-hearted banter and rivalry with us, the Oxford mathmos, in the coming years!
I think there's about three or so people on here with Durham offers. I don't know if they are internationals or not. I think the majority (like me) are still waiting to hear from them.
As far as I know deejay, fGDu and Themagicman have offers. Might be another person, can't remember.
Also have a Durham offer =p its now my insurance =]
Nah, UCL is really near me and they don't guarantee accomodation unlike Durham who do regardless of insurance/firm. Durham is more like Cambridge I suppose. Can't believe I'm rejecting Warwick and UCL lol...
Grrrr, I don't know about that. I'm really looking forward to doing some theoretical physics but I don't want to compromise on pure maths. I wish Cambridge did QM in the 1st year... Is your offer for Maths with Physics?
Do you guys think its worth getting a STEP tutor? i get no help at school btw
No, not particularly. I don't see how it would help. You have access to all of the papers and, between TSR and the STEP website, pretty much all of the solutions. If you ever get stuck on a question, require a hint or have any STEP related queries, the mathematicians with past STEP experience on here/other sites will probably be able to help you moreso than a single tutor might. The best part is that it won't cost you a penny, either.

Is it true you reapplied to Cambridge? *_* I thought you were already at Warwick?
I need some help! its basically sorting out STEP stuff. I don't really know where to start. I have done a bit of STEP 1 (well quite a bit) but no STEP 2/3. I have finished C1-4 so can do STEP 2 in theory. Now here is the issue, I have only learnt 3/4 of FP2 and none of FP3, we sit the exams in summer. I mean I imagine I will have to teach myself FP2 ahead right? any ideas.
I would just like to remind people of our lovely Mathematics Applicants 2012 stalking page. Just want to keep it up to date as possible and quite a few people are starting to decide their Firms/Insurance choices so you can start putting them in there too. For a few people I've added some of their details (hope thats okay) as they already hadn't and just for the benefit of everyone so people know what places have been giving out offers etc.

Thanks =D. Im useless with updating it btw... anyway, if you wanted to know, Cambridge is my firm and Durham is my insurance =].
