What exactly is TMUA? What kind of exam can be so "respected" by several popular majors in Cambridge and LSE? In the past few weeks, we have brought you the full analysis of the written tests of MAT, PAT and TSA for . You can click on the blue words to view them. Today we will continue to explain to you the Oxbridge written examination - TMUA.
What is TMUA?
TMUA stands for Test of Mathematics for University Admission, literally translated as "University Admission Mathematics Test". It is a written assessment test conducted to prove that applicants have the mathematical thinking and logical reasoning abilities necessary to study undergraduate mathematics and related majors. Applicants to Cambridge University computer science and economics majors must submit TMUA scores.
In addition to Cambridge, mathematics and related majors in some British universities, such as pure mathematics, economics, computer science, etc., also encourage applicants to participate in TMUA to demonstrate their mathematical abilities. For applicants who achieve excellent performance in the TMUA exam, the school may lower the conditional Requirements for offers, The current schools and majors that accept TMUA scores are as follows:
You must know that TMUA used to have a weak presence, but now it has become the written entrance examination for two of Cambridge's most popular majors. Especially this year, , the entrance written examination for Cambridge's economics major was changed from ECAA to TMUA. What hints does it give us?
In fact, Cambridge Economics has always had a very obvious preference for mathematics requirements. Oxford Economics’ entrance written test TSA mainly tests students’ reasoning analysis. In contrast, Cambridge Economics' pre-entrance examination ECAA tests 50% applied logical reasoning and 50% mathematical ability. The updated written test TMUA is an assessment of pure mathematical ability.
It can be seen that the purpose of changing Cambridge Economics from ECAA to TMUA this time is to better and more efficiently select applicants who meet the requirements of Cambridge Economics, that is, students with stronger mathematical abilities and stronger logical thinking.
What does TMUA test?
is the same as other Oxbridge written examinations. The knowledge points tested by TMUA basically come from the content of A-Level mathematics course. However, the questions of are different from those of A-Level. focuses on the important skills required to study mathematics in university, such as: in unfamiliar situations. The ability to use subject knowledge to solve problems, mathematical thinking and mathematical reasoning abilities under certain circumstances. The
TMUA exam lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the test questions are divided into 2 parts, both in the form of multiple choice questions.
●Part 1: Examine the application of mathematical knowledge (75 minutes)
focuses on assessing the ability to apply mathematical knowledge when encountering new problems, with a total of 20 multiple-choice questions.
●Part 2: Testing mathematical reasoning ability (75 minutes)

●Exam score

How many points do TMUA need?
According to the University of Cambridge, when professors complete TMUA questions, they set the difficulty level at a standard where "about one-third of the candidates can get a score of 6.5 or above." According to the actual situation shown in the 2021 TMUA score distribution table, about 30% of candidates received scores of 6.5 and above, which is roughly in line with expectations.
But for students who want to apply to Cambridge, a score of 6.5 is far from enough. According to data from Cambridge's official website, there were 1,624 applicants for the computer major in 2022 entry, and 150 people successfully received offers, with an offer rate of 9.2%.
There were 1,513 applicants for the economics major in 2022 entry, and 164 people successfully received offers, with an offer rate of 10.8%.
The written test score is one of the most important conditions for Cambridge when considering applicants. At least it must be "not holding back", that is, only if you get a TMUA of 7.2 or above can you be considered competitive.
