The CTMUA is the TMUA but has the C for administration reasons according to the website. So if you register for the TMUA instead of CTMUA then the Cambridge admissions tutors won't be able to mark it and it defeats the point of the exam.

Hi, I have a similar query. I am applying to Cambridge for computer science and need CTMUA. Does anyone know what the minimum score required for Churchill College is? I got 8.4/9 when I did a mock and am not sure which college it is enough for

There is no minimum score at any college. The main purpose of the CTMUA is to filter out people before interview. Since 8.4 would put you in the top 5% of applicants and they interview 80%, it would definitely be good enough for that purpose. Since more than 5% of applicants get offers, it would probably give you some advantage beyond that, but it's not going to be a huge factor in comparison to interview performance and predicted/achieved grades.

Does anyone know if we get a break between paper 1 and paper 2? like does the timer start the moment you click the next paper? Should've thought to check on the demo but is has expired now.
