How to get better at TMUA??

I'm doing the TMUA in like less than 2 weeks (17th october) and I seriously don't have any idea how to get better. I started revising during the summer holiday, but my scores have barely improved (1.0s to 2/3s) How do i get better?

I really want to go to Warwick for computer science and my grades are good enough (A*A*A in maths, comp sci and physics respectively) and I got 999999988 at gcse.

How do I get better at this TMUA stuff? I've watched almost every r2drew2 video and have done most of the past papers, minus like 1 of the specimen ones, but it all isn't working for me

Hi @superanonymouscr ,

Firstly congrats on those awesome predicted grades and GCSEs!

One thing to note is that the TMUA is designed to be hard for a reason. They aren't expecting you to get grades in that like you do your GCSEs.

I've found that Warwick has some guidance here, and they recommend the support from the advanced mathematics support program which might be able to help?

Also, with your incredible predicted grades and GCSEs, the TMUA won't be the end of the road by any means. I failed the TMUA and went to Southampton instead, which I am so grateful for and I genuinely wouldn't want to be anywhere else instead now. Just in case, I would recommend looking at other options to keep them open.

Best of luck for the test!
