The questions are based on the same content, STEP is just more difficult. Nothing extra needs to be learnt and STEP/AEA are good practice for C3/C4 if you're aiming for an A*, and they're more interesting.

It's nothing outside of the A-level specification, but the difficulty level is likely much harder than the papers will be, so don't panic!

Hopefully similar or easier. Just about scraped an A* in that ( 60 Marks ). If it's harder, that's my aim of the A* gone :frown:

Hard papers are fun.
Hard papers have low boundaries so I can still get full ums and drop a few silly marks.
