Format, timing & official papers

The full TMUA has two papers, each with 20 multiple-choice questions in 75 minutes. Paper 1 focuses on applying mathematics; Paper 2 adds mathematical reasoning and logic. No calculator or formula booklet. No penalty for wrong answers. This is an original practice bank; the optional timer is for practice and does not simulate a full paper.

Official guidance & papers ↗

Timed rounds select 10 questions from this bank, with 4 minutes per question. Your score is practice feedback, not a prediction of an official result.
