As general chatter, is anyone doing some STEP now or are people on hiatus until Jan exams are over? 
I'm leaving STEP to fester in the corner. Really gonna try and get an average of 93 in FP2 and M2 which clash next Friday!

Ooh congrats Farhan, as others said I had no idea you were reapplying

I started to do some in the early winter...and then realised that I could do some...my skills weren't far reaching enough to complete a paper without a LOT of difficulty =P...then all the Cambridge interview stuff took over =P. I'm not worried about Further Maths and I already have an A* in Maths so I need to make sure I need to nail every physics module. I'd be SOOO angry if that was the reason I failed to make the grade. But after my January module...****'s gonna get real. STEP's going down.
Oh...and I have a Chemistry module in January as well I think. But my offer is only three A-Level grades and Chemistry sucks -trollface-

I am currently in the process of trying to forget the step answers and doing some light uni reading
(and some C4/S2 occasionally 
)

I have FP2, M1 and Core 3 all on the same day. Then Core 4 and FP3 on the same day... I'm sure that'll be fun
Only M2 and Physics Unit 5 in June though so that's good

Is that a yes I am doing STEP or not?

Yeah I was a little like that, having only sort of covered Core 3 and not Core 4 at all I was able to do possibly 1-3 STEP I questions per paper but nothing more than that really. Haven't tried one recently so it'll be interesting to see where I stand come the end of January

(and some C4/S2 occasionally )What do you mean by 'forget the step answers'? Have you like done all the papers and you're trying to wipe your memory so you can do them again or something haha?

I got an offer.
Yee! Official congratulations then!
Original post by Farhan.Hanif93
S,1 in II and III. Congrats on your 1,2 offer.
Congrats on your 1,2 offer.Can that be read as S in III, or is it necessarily S,1 in 2012.

Wow, that's tough! Are you taking some independently or is it your school's logic to do FP2 and FP3 at the same time as C3/C4
That's a good situation to be in though, I'm stuck with four A-levels so I have a minimum of four plus STEP and maybe AEA

Means you get to relax a bit now, which I'm very jealous of! But this way, we get some stuff out of the way. Lucky Hassi with his two June modules

I went through all the papers last year (as there was a possibility that I would do them last year), so all I have untouched is the 2011 papers

Mine was absolutely standard...A*AA 11

same
More than what you expected, isn't it? You two are definitely in.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll see you there if we both practise enough

Can that be read as S in III, or is it necessarily S,1 in 2012.
I sent an email earlier today regarding that but haven't got a response yet. I'm probably more likely to get S,1 in II and III in that order (if last year was anything to go off) than an S in III anyway but who knows?
Original post by deejayy
Exactly the same offer, I'm a bit miffed that maths doesn't count though. Hopefully see you at Queens' sometime!
definitely, would be gutted if i missed the offer, cos that would literally be a case of getting a foot into the door and then letting it slam shut on you... and break your foot off.

Oh dear!! I'd hate to do all 6 in june!! I'm doing further maths AS now in year 13 and in jan i have C3, FP1, D1 (plus english and german AS resits) then M1, S2 and C4 in june along with my other exams.......its not fun

You would've though the people who make exam timetables would make it so the maths modules don't clash...... :/ Stupid!
How do you only have 2 exams in june?? What did you take for A2? I have 5 exams in jan and at least 7 in june..... :/this summer I have (Maths-wise):
FP2, FP3, M3, M4, M5, S3, STEP I, STEP II, STEP III and the AEA.
Hmmmm, maybe I should drop chemistry.

So glad I'm in the Scottish system. Just three exams for me in May. Three hour AH Maths paper, three hour AH Stats paper and a two and a half hour AH Physics paper and I'm done!
Good luck all of you with exams this month though!
Original post by maths134
i get no help at school btw
Did you put this on your SAQ?
Cambridge run a STEP course at Easter for those who get no help at school. You could email your college to ask about it.
Eurgh, exams will be horrid this year - I have FP1, M2, M3, S2 and Physics this month, then FP2, FP3, M4, M5, S3, S4, D2, Physics and whatever STEP exams I decide to do.. Better stop reading through all this and get my head down ^_^

How long is an average exam?
Cause my AH Maths exam is three hours but it covers the whole course as opposed to one unit. I couldn't imagine doing 6+ three hour exams...
