STEP I and II (along with AEA) don't require anything past modules you can take for A Level Maths (although depending on the combination of modules someone may not be able to answer certain mechanics or stats questions for obvious reasons)

What other essay prizes are there?

Yeah it's only STEP III which requires FM content (not that STEP II is much easier however, they can still ask nasty as hell questions)

Hell, there have been NST IA Tripos questions which require no extra knowledge than A Level, that are stupidly difficult (a particular 15 mark integration comes to mind).

Lol I might give it a shot (and get crushed) during summer

It's these 3 questions, of which you have to pick one and write a 2,000 word essay on it. I definitely want to do it, the seven deadly sins one seems very interesting.

1. The seven deadly sins warn of major threats to our moral wellbeing. Which of these is the greatest threat to our physical health, and why?

2. Which one of David Baltimore's seven classes of virus would you choose to eradicate from Earth, and why?

3. Assuming they live up to their stereotypes, which of Disney's Seven Dwarfs is likely to live longest, and why?

Oh nice! What is your EPQ on?

Out of curiosity, what pen are you guys using for exams? I've weaponised the Pilot V-Ball Grip Rollerball pen, but I guess it won't make too much of a difference other than making the writing process a bit less painful

Bog-standard 20p Biros
