STEP Questions By Topic

How To Use The STEP Questions By Topic Database

Every STEP 2 and STEP 3 question from 1998–2024 has been systematically organised by topic in line with the official STEP specification. This makes it easy to find the most relevant STEP questions and STEP solutions for clear, targeted practice.

This database is designed to help you develop genuine mastery of each strand and topic tested in STEP. By working through a broad range of questions spanning more than two decades of exams, you will build the problem-solving flexibility, depth of understanding, and mathematical insight required for top grades. Studying multiple questions from the same topic also allows you to recognise recurring patterns, common techniques, and subtle traps that frequently appear in STEP papers.
 

Use the first dropdown menu to select your strand (Pure, Mechanics, or Statistics), then refine your selection by choosing a specific topic within that strand.

For each question, you’ll find:

  • A PDF of the original STEP question

  • An extract from the official STEP mark scheme (where available)

  • Examiner comments illustrating how high-quality STEP solutions are assessed (where available)

Every question is mapped to the current STEP specification, so you can see exactly how it aligns with today’s exams and structure your preparation with complete clarity.

If you feel you need additional support alongside using this STEP questions database, I offer tailored STEP tuition designed to develop advanced problem-solving skills, strengthen your understanding and refine exam technique. You can also read my comprehensive guide on How To Prepare For STEP, which outlines a clear, structured approach to effective preparation.
