Yep I did it :smile:. Didn't notice the tsr thing because I stopped looking at solutions (got too lazy) when I was fairly convinced I'd done it right XD. Nice Q though.

haha yea when im fairly convinced i sometimes dont bother too. but I was wondering what you got for the very last part about the error delta phi?


Oh lol thats probably why I couldnt find the solution XD I used the oxbridge page site and must have the papers mixed up! But that may mean there are still STEP questions Ive yet to complete!....

Yeah I was also using the oxbridge page up til recently when I realised a few of the papers were not there (instead there were the corresponding I papers in the wrong place). So yeah you might have a few papers you've never seen :smile:.
Btw the actual 1992 III Q6 was a really nice one :biggrin:.

Anyone else done III 2015?


Think it might just depend on preferences,
I found it the same as most other papers, whereas I found 2013 really nice even though the boundaries were similar to usual
Original post by Mathemagicien
Hmm, I guess so

I found 2013 pretty average, although the applied was nice

Its a tad worrying how individual performance varies so much depending on what Siklos threw in the paper, then


Yeah, that has crossed my mind before...
C'mon Siklos, complex numbers and vectors galore.

I felt like that with 2010, it seemed suspiciously easy considering it was 56 for a 1 and 78 for an S that year

Hmm. I found 2015 harder than average, in fact. Some of the applied questions were sort of doable but many of a pure were a horror for me
Any online sources for OCR fp3 I can go over during the summer or should I just read over the topics independently?

Once the summer comes, you should just completely stop worrying about exam boards totally. Pick up books or lecture notes for tripos or w/e.

True I guess, tired of missing out on all the DE, complex numbers, vectors fun you guys all get up to in step 3, will look into some material this weekend

I can't wait to drag myself (screaming and fighting back) through the Dynamics and Relativity notes. I failed once before but this time I have 3 months to beat it.
