We accept requests from UK universities, institutes and candidates to administer their university admission tests at specified times of the year. 

Below is a list of admission tests we currently administer on behalf of UK universities:

STEP Mathematics is a well-established mathematics exam designed for candidates on questions that are similar in style to undergraduate mathematics. STEP is used by the University of Cambridge as the basis for conditional offers. Other universities sometimes ask candidates to take STEP as part of their offer – in such cases, the university can advise on which papers to take.

From 2021, STEP 1 will no longer exist and only STEP 2 and STEP 3 will remain.

If you were planning to take STEP 1 as part of your university application, please check with your chosen university to see which alternative option(s) they will accept.

The exam consists of up to two three-hour paper-based exam: STEP 2 and STEP 3. Candidates are usually required to sit either one or two of the exams, depending on the requirements of the universities they have applied to.
