could people recommend me any websites
http://thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=38
Isn't it time for us to do a "STEP 2007 Markschemes" thread soon, by the way?

Okay, I'll start a thread, if I can just find the old threads to copy the template...
Wasn't there a sticky with links to all our solution threads before? Or am I imagining stuff again?

You're imagining stuff
I have all threads in my userCP though, so if you want a template I can link you...Wan1
Im hopefully sitting a STEP paper next year if i get a conditional for cambridge, and i must say what i have atempted so far is pretty dam hard! Did you guys do alot of work to prepare for step papers, and could people recommend me any websites or just give advice so i can become more confident in tackling these questions?
If you want to, feel free to solve some of this year's STEP questions and post the solutions here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=443433.
Well, that's how all of us from this board who are off to Cambridge in a month or so did in preparation for the STEP, anyway.
Besides, some interview questions tend to be quite STEP I-ish, so by doing some STEP questions you're preparing yourself for the interview as well.
You guys should go to your old threads and link to all the solutions. Like right now, if I want to see the answer to question 6 1998 I have to scroll down myself =P. Then I can also print them off easily and give them to our maths department and take credit for it <_<. Nah just kidding.

Well, that's how all of us from this board who are off to Cambridge in a month or so did in preparation for the STEP, anyway.Of course, everyone has their own way of working, but I always tried to avoid doing "last year's paper" during general practice, so I could save it for a proper practice exam closer to the time.
Just a thought...
That's exactly what I do. 
I hate "wasting" papers. I saved the 2006 papers for the week before just so I could do a "if I took this last year, I would get..." test run. If you do it any time before then, you might not be at your full potential (unless you're General or Franklin who clearly came out of the womb doing differential equations).
That said, last year's paper isn't going to look much like this year's paper in STEP.

FP2 and M4, really.
FP1 too I guess.
If you're like me and hate mechanics, FP2 will do.
Make sure to try the past papers though! Maybe doing them all back till 1987 is a bit overkill, but...practise long and hard anyway.

i'm currently attempting step I questions and a bit of step II

You might also want to read up on FP3 (well, depending on your exam board): specifically, series (Maclaurin series) and induction. The former is a pretty huge topic, the latter is quite simple to get to grips with and can be very powerful. Even if you don't manage to get round to Maclaurin, definitely spend some time on induction. Vectors and complex numbers might be nice too, but if I'm honest I never managed to do many of those questions even with FP3. Edexcel are a bit useless with those two topics.
