AMSP

How can the AMSP help with preparing for STEP, MAT and TMUA?

The AMSP provides tuition to support students preparing to take the STEP, MAT and TMUA admission tests. Some of these are free and you may want to explore them.

The support can be delivered in various formats to help you to access it easily:

• The Setting out In Problem Solving (SOIPS) course is for Year 12 and 13 students who are interested in beginning to develop their problem-solving skills or who are wanting to find out more about university entry examinations.

• The AMSP provides online support for students sitting the STEP, MAT and TMUA examinations. You would have to pay for these.
  The MAT course and the TMUA course run from September to the end of October each year.
  The STEP courses run from February to May each year.

If you want to work on developing your problem-solving skills, here are some resources to help you:

• SUMS – Steps to University for Mathematical Students.
  This is a monthly web-magazine for all A level Mathematics students considering studying Mathematics at university. Each issue is packed full of support, resources and advice.

• The Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP) produced a range of problem-solving materials for post-16 students.
  These can be found in the FMSP Resources Archive and include:

  • A level problem-solving materials

  • Materials from the Senior Team Maths Challenge (STMC)

  • Year 12 Problem Solving Summer School

• As part of the support MEI provides for STEP, it also provides access to sample materials and access to past paper worked solutions.

• As SHSK has registered with the AMSP, your teachers should be able to access additional materials from Integral®
