How do I start to prep for the TMUA?

I’ve just finished my exams for as now I’m wondering what the first step would be for me to start preparing for the TMUA entrance exam as I plan to apply to Cambridge for maths and computer science. Does anyone have any experience or advice to start preparing for it?

There are (probably) others. Paper 1 has some similarlity with the multiple choice mat so you might want to look at the resources (livestream, drfrost, ....) for that as well as there are more papers.
https://amsp.org.uk/students/preparing-for-a-university-admissions-test/step-mat-and-tmua/
has a reasonable overview as well as some courses and other material. Again, there are others.

It really depends on what youre currently achieving, so maybe do one past paper to get a rough idea of your problems and then do related resources to skill up on and in a few weeks do another, ... As there are a relatively small number of past papers, dont burn through them all at the start

NP. For questions or solutions youre unsure about just post. Like most things, the key thing is to have some sort of plan where you do some practice/learning regularly, rather than just letting things drift. As well as the mat livestream stuff, (some of) the step foundation modules would be worth working through and the odd ukmt smc might help with problem solving, but less about a level topics.

has a bit of general info on about the interview (and a bit about tmua as well).

I'm planning on taking the TMUA for warwick, but does warwick also require the STEP exam?
