Right, I need to ditch this annoying website, since I have so much work to do. Good luck everyone see you on the 24th. @glad-he-ate-her practice some c2 yes?

😂😂 let him off even I forgot the formula (till i looked at the c2 section)

Ps i did c2 lst year as well

Hey guys, last question( the divisibility question) I did everything right except I assumed true for n=k+1, which was like a typo, i meant to write assume true for n=k ( I did everything else right, proved f(k+1) was a multiple etc), how many marks would I lose. Also i forgot to square the modulus when I expanded lambda and solved for lambda. How many Marks would I have lost for that

Will I get any method marks for question 3 as I thought the equation was y^2=16ax for the part after writing the equation

This was definitely question 3. I didn't read the question properly. In part c) you had to solve simultaneously but since my equation was wrong will I get method marks

This was definitely Q3. In part c) you had to solve simulatenously but since my equation was wrong will I get method marks. For the part with xy=36

Just make sure you understand everything. Also, don't make the mistake I did and think you need a formal understanding for STEP. When I first looked at STEP, I thought I was going to need some in-depth real-analysis understanding to succeed. I then wasted several months trying to learn real-analysis, linear algebra, complex analysis etc...

When getting started, you'll probably be spending 2-3 hours on questions, this is normal and the time will reduce to 30-45 mins if you stick at it. Also, don't look at solutions to soon. STEP is about resiliency tbh
