TMUA January 2025 - is MAT good for practise?

I've got the TMUA in two days and I am stressing as everyone who sat the October one said it was insanely hard. Ive done all the past papers, going over them twice as well. Someone commented in a tiktok I saw that MAT's mcq where very similar to the TMAU 2024. Can anyone verify? Or would anyone recommend I do those questions as well, i dont know how similar the spec is.

Best of luck with everyone sitting the TMUA, and any tips from October sitters is very much appreciated.

Sure mat mcq have some similarity with tmua 1 as its roughly the same syllabus (as maths and elementary maths) and people do use the other test to practice for their one.

no, but done the papers. If youve done the tmua papers a couple of times, maybe hit a few mat mcqs, but youre not going to significantly change what you know in a day or two

yeah I hear you, its more just exposure to any kind of question really, if something comes up in the exam which I looked at in one of the MAT then im far more likely to know where to start
