Sixth Term Examination Papers in Mathematics, often referred to as STEP (or as STEP papers through RAS syndrome), are university admissions tests for undergraduate Mathematics courses developed by the University of Cambridge. STEP papers are typically taken post-interview, as part of a conditional offer of an undergraduate place. There are also a number of candidates who sit STEP papers as a challenge. The papers are designed to test ability to answer questions similar in style to undergraduate Mathematics.〔() http://www.admissionstestingservice.org/our-services/subject-specific/step/about-step/ Retrieved 10 January 2014〕 Each year, over 2,800 students take at least one STEP paper. As of 2014, candidates applying to study Mathematics at the University of Cambridge and the University of Warwick may be required to take STEP papers as part of the terms of their conditional offer. In addition, the University of Bristol, the University of Bath, the University of Oxford and Imperial College London encourage candidates to take STEP papers. The university the candidate is applying to may specify which of the papers need to be taken. For example, for applicants to the University of Cambridge who are taking Mathematics A Level, it is usually STEP 1 (necessary for single Mathematics candidates) and/or STEP 2 (depends on the College) or STEP 2 and STEP 3 if they are also taking Further Mathematics. STEP grades are also occasionally required for other courses at the University of Cambridge, such as Computer Science and Engineering.〔() http://www.admissionstestingservice.org/images/courses-requiring-step-2014.pdf Retrieved 10 January 2014〕 ==History== Before 2003, STEP papers were available for a wide range of subjects, including, for example, Chemistry and Biology, but the Mathematics STEP paper is the only one now in use. Three STEP Mathematics papers are set each year. The number of candidates taking STEP Mathematics papers by 2013 had more than doubled since 2005:〔() http://www.admissionstestingservice.org/our-services/subject-specific/step/why-use-step/ Retrieved 19 February 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sixth Term Examination Paper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
