STEP is owned by OCR, which publishes the key dates and fees for each examination cycle. This record covers those date sources and the checks to run before booking, without asserting a current format or that any university course requires a paper unless an official course source is in the registry.

Registration and sitting dates for 2027 entry
Dates change by cycle. Follow the live official pages named below, then check the exact institution deadline rather than copying a date from another course.
- Use OCR's live key-dates page for the applicable examination cycle.
- Use the institution course page or offer for the required paper and grade condition.
Format and modules
What the official sources listed on this page establish about delivery, timing, and papers or modules.
- Delivery
- The current STEP delivery method is not asserted from the official source records available in this repository
- Timing
- Current timing is not asserted from the available source records
Papers or modules
- Current STEP papers or modules are not reproduced without a test-owner format source
Scope of this format record
- Use the live test-owner specification before choosing preparation material.
- The institution record establishes only the scoped course requirement; it is not a general format source.
Preparation order
Verify the booking decision first. Preparation advice cannot repair a test choice made for the wrong course, entry year, or module combination.
- 1Confirm the exact STEP paper and grade condition on the course page or offer before building a plan.
- 2Obtain the current official test-owner specification before choosing format-specific preparation material; the format is not asserted from this repository source set.
- 3Use the live OCR cycle for the dates and fees it publishes.
Institution and course records
Read the institution, exact course scope, and entry year together. A row is not a rule for a different course or university.
No institution requirement is asserted here.
The official records available in this repository cover the test owner, dates, or format, but do not include an institution course source for this test. Check the exact course page before booking or preparing.
Scope of this record
Check the exact course before booking.
The test owner controls the test; the institution controls whether your course requires it and by when.
