Feedback on the Maths tutors we work with
"Just to drop you a line now that exam has come to an end. May I say that regardless of the outcome, I found your contribution to my son’s preparation very significant. I cannot judge how your help and mentoring has impacted his marks, but I did find my son so much more confident this time, certainly compared to his preparation last year. So, thank you very much for the help. He definitely appreciated, which coming from such a stubborn, capable and confident person, must be taken as a Big Thank you from our side"

What is STEP Maths?
The Sixth Term Examination Paper or STEP Mathematics is an exam used by the Universities of Cambridge and Warwick as part of their admissions process for undergraduate Maths courses. It's also occasionally used by other universities for the same purpose. It consists of 3 papers, each one lasting 3 hours, referred to as STEP 1, STEP 2, and STEP 3. Applicants will normally take one or two of these, as requested by the particular institution they are applying to, with STEP 3 being the most difficult. For each paper, 6 questions must be answered out of a total of 11 or 12, with a mix of pure maths, mechanics, and probabilty or statistics questions.
The papers are designed to assess how students perform when handling similar questions to those they will be tackling at undergraduate level, and as such require a high level of mathematical ability, perseverance, and insight.
How can Keystone Tutors help you prepare for STEP Maths?
The tutors we work with can help your child in preparing for this vital exam in a number of ways. They can guide your child through sample papers and questions, providing feedback and improving exam technique, and going over worked answers from past papers. They can check that your child has no gaps in their knowledge of the relevant areas of mathematics, to give them the best chance of being able to deal with the breadth of the topics in the examination. They will also be able to help your child build their confidence in approaching this challenging exam, enabling them to perform to the best of their ability.
