STEP Questions Involving Geometry

Here are a selection of STEP questions which involve some geometrical thinking. Some involve getting a really clear diagram or representation, especially those involving 3D geometry. Vectors might be a useful strategy for some. Others lend themselves to a coordinate geometry approach. You will draw on lots of other areas of mathematical expertise while working through these.
