STEP past papers: official links
OCR publishes the STEP past papers and examiners' reports. We link to OCR's copies rather than host them, so you always get the official versions. We do not reproduce or walk through official questions.
Use them after the topic work: first question by question, then as full 3-hour papers choosing six questions. Mark yourself against OCR's mark schemes and read the examiners' reports. Links checked 5 October 2026.

STEP is run by OCR. A Level Math Revision is independent: it is not affiliated with or endorsed by OCR, the University of Cambridge or any university. Every problem here is our own, written in the style of STEP; for real papers use OCR's official past papers.
