Anyone have a rough guide on what the grade boundaries for TMUA are?

So recently I’ve started looking at TMUA papers but I have no idea what sort of score I should be getting to get a decent grade. So can anyone provide an insight into what the grade boundaries were roughly for the previous years.

The only year I'm aware of having any kind of answer to this is 2016. See this post: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4907918#post74395184

Unfortunately, they increased the time allotment in future years, which makes it hard to know how representative 2016 is for the current exam.

I just made a discovery, turns out they added a conversion on the later pages of the answer key on all of them.

I'm guessing you are looking to apply for Cambridge CS 2020 entry as they require the TMUA. If so, the forums here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5967008 . If not then just ignore this :smile:

It's going alright I guess although I'm struggling to finish the questions on time, but I've only done one paper so far. Im not too sure about colleges although I'm probably going to try to avoid the CSAT. And btw how have u been scoring on TMUA papers and which years?
