Looks like you're doing well Duke.

BTW according to this: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/296681/response/730962/attach/2/Christ%20s%20College%20STEP%20Engineering%2013%2015.pdf

Only one Christ's Engineering applicant has achieved an S in STEP I to date ... :smile:

Not sure, mines are mostly borderline S. And I dont know how I would perform under exam condtiions.

Nice data. But tbh if I recieved the offer last yr I wouldnt have met it. Doing A levels and STEP simultaneously is a lot of work(i mean really a lot). Imagine how the ,mathmos live :redface:

past papers but first read through the whole tb and understand each concept (read the textbook eachline atleast 3 times) then once ur confident with the concept start tackling pp and the then mark where u went wrong. Adn if u forgot some points to mention (thats on the mark scheme) remember em. write that point down on the textbook on the page of the relevant topic then after some time(dnt redo it immediately ) redo the paper. Youll be fine m8.tbh they wont reject one of the best mathmo in the nation 'cuz of some useless physics grade

@Duke Glacia

I would like to know how you became extremely good at maths? (No modesty please)

I would also like to know whether you think watching all videos on ExamSolutions.net for C1-4 until I understand it, will give me the necessary tools to start tackling STEP 1.

Wakey wakey

Well all i did for A levels were practice mixed exercise and review exercise (at least 2 times each) then move on to the past papers. Also if u practice STEP youll be also good at A level maths(its a amazing byproduct).

I have never watched examsolutions(but some creatures like @Zacken used the site extensivley ). So once ur comfortable with C1-c4 u can start tackling STEP 1. At first u will feel like swearing but it gets easier(not easy tho)

Ooh I did this paper yesterday (2004)
Haha it was the worst thing. started doing it think it was a step II paper and was like **** I'm screwed, then realised it was a III paper and was so thankful.

Question 8 is also quite nice, if you've done differential equations in fp3/2 yet
