TMUA Papers

There are two dates for the TMUA exam. 16/17th October this year. Are the papers going to be the same. If yes, wont that make cheating possible, elif no, why can't I find more than 2 past papers for a year because we take two papers a day. Also where can I find the TMUA papers that were taken in January as I am assuming that they wont be the same as the ones taken the previous year oct/nov?
Thanks for your help!

No one as of yet knows whether the papers sat on the 16th will be the same as the ones sat on the 17th. Both have their own issues and it does seem quite unfair
2024/25 is the first admissions cycle in which TMUA papers can be sat in October or in January, previously you could only sit them in October. So there are no January TMUA past papers. But they will be the same difficulty and style as the ones sat in October. Hope that helps

it's going to be a random assortment of questions

How do you know?

someone on reddit emailed Cambridge

does that mean that every person has a different set of questions?

It's very confusing and they haven't given much information. Even if they are a random assortment of questions, it isn't hard for people to cheat because you dont refer to an exam question as 'Q18' once you have completed an exam, you'd refer it to the question on 'the number of solutions to the trig equation' and people wld say 'yeah i got 3 solutions', so it's gonna be so unfair if people manage to cheat and get 8.0+ knowing the answers. I'm not sure what the regulations are going to be because ig it is the same papers
