TMUA Preparation Thread 2017

Ah I flopped.. 5 in p1 and 5.9 in p2 - 5.6 overall

That's a shame . Are you still going to release your results to the unis?

I've applied to Durham and warwick and I didn't do very well in TMUA (5.1 overall) so I'm not sure whether to send my results to them to show them I had a go or not in case it makes them less likely to give me an offer. What should I do?

Durham say if you got >= 5.5 then send them off. Since you got 5.1 you’re pretty close so I’d send them off if I were you. As for Warwick, If you’ve got an offer then send it off as they can’t rescind the offer. If not, maybe don’t send it to them. Hope this helps

Great thank you that's really helpful do you think 5.1 is close enough for them to consider me? I haven't got an offer from Warwick yet so maybe I won't send it to them.

I wouldn’t say it’s detrimental. I mean, you’re no worse off than a candidate who didn’t sit the test. As long as your other grades are sound, I’m sure you’ll be fine

I got an email from Durham today saying:

"...If you have taken the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA), you should have been informed of your score directly by CAAT together with instructions on how to release your marks to Durham.

A mark of 6.5 OR ABOVE will guarantee you a reduced (A*AA) offer (or equivalent).
A mark of 5.5 OR ABOVE will be treated as positive evidence and increase your chances of getting our standard (A*A*A) offer (or equivalent)..."

Does this mean (a) if I get an offer, it will be reduced; or (b) I will get an offer, which is reduced? Thanks

Are Durham still likely to make an offer without TMUA?😬

What have you guys been getting on the specimen paper ?

I got 24/40 but right now I have no idea how good/bad that is. I need a 6.0 for Southampton but currently I'm just lost.

Did you get 24/40 on the practice papers or on the 2017 papers?
