What's new

We expanded the free guides library with in-depth pages covering far more of what TMUA applicants actually search for.

What is new:

• Every TMUA university - dedicated guides for Imperial, LSE, Warwick, Durham and UCL, alongside Oxford and Cambridge, plus a "which universities require the TMUA" overview.
• Is the TMUA hard? and What is a good TMUA score? - straight answers, with the post-2024 scoring change explained.
• TMUA for Economics and TMUA for Computer Science - exactly which universities need the test for each subject.

Every guide now opens with a quick-answer summary, so the key facts are right at the top. All free, no account needed.

We launched a full community - a place to ask about specific questions, swap strategy, and compare notes with other TMUA applicants.

What you can do:

• Ask about any question - post a question thread and mark an accepted answer, with full Markdown and LaTeX math support so your working renders properly.
• Upvote, build reputation, and earn badges as you help other people out.
• Private messages - DM other members, with a notification bell so you never miss a reply or a mention.
• Tied to the question bank - every practice question has its own "Discuss this question" space.

Set your username in Settings, under "Community profile", then jump in.

Your progress dashboard got a complete rebuild, designed around one headline number: a predicted TMUA score that updates every time you practise.

Here is what is now tracked:

• Predicted score and band - instead of a plain "percent correct", we fit a proper ability model to your attempts (the same family of item-response models used by real admissions tests). Hard and easy questions count differently, the estimate sharpens the more you do, and it comes with a confidence range.
• Strengths and weak spots by topic - a clear breakdown of which topics are pulling your score up and which are dragging it down.
• Timing and pace - how long you spend per question and whether speed is costing you accuracy.
• Accuracy and progress over time - watch the trend line move as you improve.
• Your full attempt history - every question you have done, how you answered, and how long it took.

The full dashboard is part of Premium. Free accounts get a live preview so you can see what gets tracked.

We've since made it even better: free accounts now see more up front - your accuracy by difficulty, accuracy by paper, and how much of the question bank you've covered, right at the top. And Premium gained three new cards: a predicted-band trajectory (watch your band climb over time), an exam-time projection (could you finish a full paper inside the clock?), and a mock-vs-practice readiness gap.

Premium now includes a complete, timed mock exam - a full Paper 1 and Paper 2 pair - that runs in an interface modelled on the real Pearson VUE exam environment, so practice feels like the real thing.

• Take it timed, to rehearse pacing under pressure, or untimed to work through it carefully.
• Every question comes with the same full worked solution as the rest of the bank.

More mocks are on the way.

We finished adding every official TMUA paper from 2016 to 2023, plus the specimen paper - over 350 real past-paper questions in total.

• Each question has a full, step-by-step worked solution with trap-spotting commentary, not just an answer key.
• Every paper was checked against the original source PDFs for fidelity, including the figures and the maths.
• Free accounts get a set number of questions a day; Premium removes the daily cap.

We launched a free library of TMUA strategy guides - proper, in-depth articles rather than thin blog posts.

They cover scoring and band targets, the syllabus, how Paper 1 and Paper 2 differ, calculator-free technique, and the TMUA requirements for Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, LSE, Durham and more. Several include an interactive worked example you can try right in the page.
