How to get faster at STEP?

So I have a Cambridge maths offer which requires me to get 1,1 in STEPs 2 and 3. I currently find that I can do a question in an hour or so but I struggle to complete them faster. Does anyone have advice on how to get faster and how fast should I get?

It almost sounds too general a probem to give useful advice, but if you posted a few questions (and describe how you went about it) it youd probably get better advice. In general, the questions do lead you through the solution are you having trouble spotting this or getting started or ...? Is it pure, stats or mechanics? ...?

Obviously to do it in 3 hrs, youre doing a question every 1/2 hr, but a 1 is ~60% so you really need at least 4 completed questions.
