These tests help you develop problem solving skills needed for a Warwick Mathematics degree and, at the same time, deepen your understanding of the A-Level material. They are not as scary as you might think!

We list past papers on this page, feel free to visit one of the links, try one and have fun.

We leave this up to you and your school. Students who take MAT in November and do well are likely to receive a lower offer from us.

Other students are likely to receive our standard offer which will ask that they sit STEP in June.

There are online help sessions for those who take STEP.

MAT is in early November, and STEP is usually in late June.

Please consult the links in the MAT and STEP sections for the precise dates and details of how to register. Also speak to your school.

Applicants from outside the UK (or their schools) may also be able to get this advice from their local office of the British Council (click on 'Contact', then 'Find office' after selecting your country).

The MAT does not have a grading system and the average mark fluctuates from year to year. We have in the last few years asked for a mark of around 65 to qualify for our reduced A-level offer (A* Maths, A* Further Maths, A). Students doing less well have the chance to take STEP in June.

If you are a Warwick applicant sitting the MAT and you would like to know your mark you can obtain this by emailing mathsadmissions@warwick.ac.uk after the 31 March (please do not contact us before this date as we will be still busy processing offers).

To help us find your mark please let us know in your email:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• UCAS number

As above, there are now only two STEP papers, STEP 2 and STEP 3.

If STEP is part of the offer you receive from us then we are happy to accept either of these two STEP papers and you may attempt whichever you like.

The Advanced Maths Centre at Warwick provides a set of targeted online resources to students and a series of live online sessions to help students prepare for STEP.

Students who have applied to study mathematics at Warwick for whom STEP forms a part of their offer of a university place should complete a form in order to be able to access these online resources or the live online sessions.

Details of how to access to the form will be sent directly to students with their offer. These preparation sessions will start around early February.
