High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sixth Term Examination Papers in Mathematics, often referred to as STEP (or redundantly as STEP papers), are examinations set in the United Kingdom by the University of Cambridge to assess applicants for undergraduate mathematics courses. Other universities may require STEP including Warwick. Students used to be entered for STEP through the OCR exam board, but are now administered by Cambridge Assessment. Results from STEP papers are used to supplement candidates' existing exam results, which are often claimed to be insufficient to distinguish between the very brightest applicants. Each year, roughly 400 people in the UK may take STEP to attempt entry to Cambridge University; many more may enter for the purpose of entering Warwick, and in fact anyone, with or without the aim of seeking admission to an institution, may take STEP, making them public examinations.
