Other/Not applicable The whole idea of "4 questions answered well (15/20) = Grade 1 in STEP" is misleading

The STEP website states that by four questions answered well/good they mean about 15/20 gained per question. This puts the total mark achieved at 60/120, which is nowhere near a grade 1 on STEP I, in fact it's not enough even for a grade 2! In 2010, the most recent paper I've completed so far, you needed 84 for a grade 1 and 70 for grade...
