TMUA Exam
with Expert Prep
What Is the TMUA?
The TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission) test is an entrance test at universities that tests the mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities of a student.
It is employed in top universities in the UK for highly competitive fields like Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, and Engineering.
TMUA does not require any advanced mathematics, but rather assesses the ability of students to use core mathematical concepts in a logical, precise, and timed manner.
TMUA Exam Format:
The TMUA consists of two 75-minute papers with 20 multiple-choice questions each.
In all, the test is 2.5 hours long, and calculators are not allowed. Emphasis during the exam is on mathematical reasoning and problem solving, not on memorizing formulas.
-
The TMUA syllabus is based on pre-university mathematics in a similar manner to that required in UK ‘A’ level or international high schools but with a testing level of understanding in mind.
Topics of focus:
Algebra (Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities)
Functions and graphs
Coordinate geometry
Trigonometry
Exponents and Logarithms
Sequences and Series
Probability and basic statistics
Mathematical Reasoning & Proof Thinking
-
Scores range from 1.0 through 9.0 in increments of 0.1.
Attainment above 6.5 is regarded as good, 7.0 through 7.5 or higher is competitive for top institutions, while 8.0 or higher is outstanding.
Universities consider scores together with academic marks using the application in arriving at final admission offers. Scores are usually released in November for the October sitting and in February for the November sitting.

How ReWiser Helps You Succeed
Personalized Study Plans
Students begin with a diagnostic TMUA assessment to evaluate:
Conceptual understanding
Logical reasoning ability
Speed and accuracy
Based on this, a dedicated mentor develops a study plan that involves focuses on key topic areas and strategies as it were, rather than generic math skills.
TMUA Mock Tests and Performance Analysis
Students are provided with full-scale mock tests for the TMUA that are designed to reflect as closely as possible the difficulty level and pattern of the actual test.
After each simulation test, students as well as parents are given personal feedback, including Topic-wise Accuracy, Time Management Analysis, Breakdowns, as well as Strategies for Improvement
University Admissions Impact
TMUA scores play a crucial role in admissions to highly competitive programs, especially at top UK universities.
A good TMUA score Improves applications for math-related courses, Shows strong problem-solving skills, Allows institutions to distinguish between strong candidates
TMUA results may also impact some students greatly in admission.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The TMUA uses mathematical reasoning skills, which universities assess to enter competitive degrees.
-
Yes. Although the syllabus is familiar, the questions are more conceptually challenging and time-pressured.
-
Scores above 6.5 are strong and above 7.0 are competitive for top universities.
-
It is usually taken once per admissions cycle. Students should make it a goal to be well-prepared prior to the date of the exam.
-
The TMUA is completely different from the SAT test and the AP test since it involves mathematical reasoning and thinking to a vast extent. The problems are quite abstract and are timed to test how a student thinks instead of what a student knows.
-
Students should ideally begin TMUA preparation 6-8 months before the exam date.
-
ReWiser offers diagnostic assessments, tailor-made study plans, mock tests, and dedicated mentor support, all put together with a focus on the TMUA exam.
