what topics to learn for TMUA

Im in year 12 now and I want to ace the TMUA exam so I can have a chance to study computer science at Cambridge.

What topics should I be learning from now before starting to do past papers?

For paper 2, probably work through the logic and proof notes
For paper 1, the syllabus is roughly maths as which has some similarities with mat. So maybe work though the mat livestream stuff and worksheets. Similarly there is the odd amsp course, but that will probably be at the start of y13 now.

Maybe do the odd tmua paper as you go along but keep a few for nearer the time of your exam. If you do the above, then maybe do some mat multiple choice (even the longer questions) and smc/amc papers, and have a look for an tmua book. Tmua typically includes more calculus questions than mat (and smc doesnt touch calculus) so bias any practice to that.

Also note that this year was done by a different provider, so dont focus just on the past tmua papers but try and learn stuff around them.
