Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

can you do STEP I/II/III?

I want to do STEP I/II but would also like to do STEP III. how possible is that and would the work load be 2 much? Im currently going through the siklos book and am having a good go at the majority of the questions

Well do the practice questions and see.

I recommend doing STEP papers in turn. I've not gone beyond II yet but I got a 1 in that... so I'm quietly confident about STEP III, at least for a reasonable 'pass'.

It is not possible to take STEP I and STEP III in the same year.

As far as I am aware, you aren't allowed to take 3 STEP papers in one sitting anyway.

STEP I and III are at the same time, just do STEP II and III.

Each paper takes 3 hours. I feel sorry for an invigilator having to wait around for 6 hours, not to mention the ridiculous burden it will place on you. If you want a "safe" bet, then do I. If you want to push yourself then do III. Simples :biggrin:

Umm, you need a grade 2 in any STEP paper?
I'm guessing you have a Warwick offer or something.

If you can't get a 2 in STEP I then I don't know why you would think you could get a 2 in STEP III. :confused:

If you're trying to meet a Warwick offer, do I and II.
If you're doing it for fun or for a challenge, do II and III.

I think when it was run by OCR it was allowed but discouraged, but Cambridge assessment (who run it now) do not allow people to be entered for all 3 papers. Just do I, II and the AEA if you're trying to meet a Warwick offer.
