The exam registration process in India is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a test centre<\/strong>: This can be your school or college, or any other authorised test centre like the British Council.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide the details: <\/strong>You will have to provide the necessary information to the test centre you have chosen. For example, the British Council requires you to fill out a form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pay the required fees: <\/strong>Thereafter, you will be required to pay the registration fee. The registration charges vary depending on the location of your test centre.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get your candidate entry number<\/strong>: Get this as proof of your registration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Print out:<\/strong> Keep a printout of the registration form, and take a screenshot of the fee payment as proof. You might need it for entry to the exam hall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Show up: Show <\/strong>up at the exam centre before the time on the exam day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-exam-cambridge-fee-in-india\"><span id=\"step-exam-cambridge-fee-in-india\">Step Exam Cambridge Fee in India<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fee for the STEP examination for Cambridge University and other university applicants is provided below. The fees for Indian nationals and other international students are the same. However, if you are taking the test from the UK, the fee would be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Category<\/td><td>Fee (GBP)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Registration (per paper \u2013 UK candidates)<\/td><td>GBP 98.50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Registration per paper for Indian students&nbsp;<\/td><td>GBP 136.75 \/ USD 177 \/ EUR 159.75<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#c3e8ff\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Did You Know?<\/strong><br>The results are not published on the university page.

Know that STEP is one of the most difficult mathematics papers. You are not allowed to use calculators, the questions are asked beyond the A-level syllabus, and the paper is not MCQ-based like<a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/tmua-exam\/\"><strong> the TMUA examination.<\/strong><\/a> This means proper preparation is essential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start your preparation early:<\/strong> Unlike the <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/mathematics-admissions-test\/\"><strong>Oxford MAT exam<\/strong><\/a>, you cannot prepare for the STEP exam in 6 months. You need to dedicate at least 12 to 18 months for preparation!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learn all topics from the A-Level Syllabus:<\/strong> You must make the core mathematical skills solid. Your foundation must be strong. Therefore, prepare topics like trigonometry, algebra, etc, well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understand the STEP format:<\/strong> Each paper of the STEP examination comes with 12 questions you only need to answer 6! You need to understand facts about the format before you give the paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use online resources and prepare: <\/strong>The previous year&#8217;s papers are available on the OCR website. Go through those papers, download them and practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Practice and develop problem-solving skills: <\/strong>You need to take mock tests and prepare well. Ensure that you are developing your problem-solving skills. You can use resources like NRICH Advanced Problem Solving to prepare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a mentor:<\/strong> You need a teacher to tell you where you have made mistakes and how to avoid them. Therefore, seek help from your mentor or school teacher.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/mat-exam-preparation\/\"><strong>Oxford MAT Exam Preparation: 5 Tips To Ace the Most Competitive Exam<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-cancel-the-step-examination\"><span id=\"how-to-cancel-the-step-examination\">How to Cancel the STEP examination?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The STEP examination cancellation is possible with a refund. However, the cancellation must be done in advance of the STEP exam dates. Assuming your test centre is a British Council-registered test centre, you can cancel by following the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contact the British Council, and state you want to cancel the exam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cancel the exam by May 1st at 1700hrs IST. ( A few days before the exam date).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cancellation procedure will be started by the British Council, and they will cancel your paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will receive a refund of 75% of the fees. The 25% fees will be dedicated as part of their administration charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get an email of cancellation confirmation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Timely cancellation allows the exam organisers to accurately account for the number of attendees and to allocate resources accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1752304829314\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is step 2 harder than Step 1?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The STEP paper 1 was discontinued in 2020.
