STEP is not a competition. It is compulsary if you want to do maths in Cambridge. I'm talking about the Physics Olympiad, Chemistry Olympiad and such. I'm having a pretty busy two weeks coming up.
Physics Olympiad Round 2: 7th Nov.
SMC: 11th Nov
Imperial College Interview: 12th Nov.
Thanks to the National Express promotion offer, london return only cost 5 pounds including insurance.

This year's boundries are as follows:
Gold: 87 and above
Silver: 72-86
Bronze: 61-71
All candidates scoring over 98 are entered automatically for the BMO Round 1. Should candidates scoring lower want to enter, a lower threshold of 96 has been set, below which a candidate shouldn't be entered.

This year's boundaries look much higher than last years. 96 is the suggested qualification mark for BMO. But I think the actual boundary for invitation is slightly higher, maybe 98?

This year's BMO qualifying mark is 98, although candidates over 96 can enter if they wish to.

I'm not that good at maths, I get straight A's but not like full marks for modules or anything like that.
I did SMC and got 75. Am not doing maths at uni though, I'm doing Engineering.

May I just remind you that this thread is titled: "Senior Maths Challenge anyone?"
I was amazed to hear about people getting ridiculously high marks as the highest in our school was 89. we must really suck.

Just wondering how many of you out there is going to do the Maths Challenge this year? Apparently there were three people in the country got full marks last year.

Apparently our teacher told us ten people got full marks...one boy in our sixth form got a silver and three got bronze.
Our teacher was well pleased as he said he taught three them!
What did you get? ... or have you got the results yet?
i thought it was hard... the people who got full marks must be well clever!

I took BMO 1 last year and got an incredible 14/50, so no book for me, I was well disappointed, but the 34! question was awful, totally unfair if you didn't know the divisiblity, although i should have

As a matter of fact, if you scored higher than 115 (or is it 110?) you are on the list. .

I really wanted to do the SMC this year as I've done the lower ones every year possible. Last year I was the third person ever from my school to get to the Intermediate Olympiad. But this year they just told me when I asked that they don't do the senior one 
. My maths teacher (who is reasonably new and didn't know they didn't do it) was quite annoyed with that. They told me to go and do the Scottish Maths Challenge instead - evil incarnate! And you have to do it in your precious free time and show lots of working {shudders at the thought}
Congrats to everyone who did get to do it this year
