<p>hi im applying to cambridge next year and im just wondering if there are any additional tests i need to take. I have my act, sat2 APs I also here I need to take a STEP test? If im applying for comp sci. is that all I need to have?</p>
<p>That’s all you need to apply. STEP is taken in June, at the end of your senior year and for CompSci any offer will be conditional on that (as well as any outstanding APs/SATIIs). Make sure to start organizing taking the STEP early- it may be a hassle if you aren’t in (or near) a British school.</p>
<p>End of senior? Can I not take it at the beinning of my senior year? Would that make the offer unconditional?</p>
<p>It’s not a choice- it’s only offered in June. I imagine you could do it this June- email the comp sci department & ask.</p>
<p>Do not become obsessed about getting an unconditional offer. Conditional offers are the norm in the UK.</p>
I’m pretty sure STEP isn’t conditional for all CompSci offers. If you choose to not take the “Computer Science with Mathematics” you won’t need to do STEP, at least at St. John’s College.
