510? I highly doubt step has changed that much from last year :tongue:

Edit: D=500 how much is Q? 500000? It must be huge anyway

Looks like Q isn't anything according to wikipedia. 510 questions would make for nice variety though

Yes I would like more question as well.
Eg pick 10 Qs out of 26 Qs (10-8-8) in 5 hours .

The thought of doing 10 STEP questions in a sitting, no matter how partial, is not one I want to entertain

ok then 6 out of 26 but more difficult than now in 3 hours .
I guess it would be difficult to think of that many qs for examiners

Just made an account to ask what the problem with discussing questions is? Are there people who have yet to sit the exam?

Also any decision 1'ers know that if when you maximise p=4x+3y+2z, when you minimise that does it become p=-4x-3y-2z?

i'm got an offer for maths (at Peterhouse too) but only for step 2 and 3 but I thought may as well do step 1 if it's easy lol how wrong i was
I did pretty much the same amount as you in the exam and i can safely say it was by a clear solid mile the worst step paper I have done including step 3 past papers not a single nice question. i am expecting a U. 2015 step 1 was a literal piece of cake i managed to do around 7 or 8 full solutions but i just scraped 2 in this exam
i think this paper could be used as a method of torture

I feel your pain big time :frown:

I was actually doing pretty well in STEP questions before the exam, did loads of questions since September last year and was beginning to score 1s pretty consistently, I guess all our hopes now ride on the good will of Dr Zsák... (he seemed like a really nice guy at open day / interview so there is hope yet :smile:
