Any advice for TMUA prep?

I was recommended a book called "Skills for Success in University Admissions Tests for Mathematics" (ISBN: 978-1-3983-2331-5), which has a lot useful examples and practice questions for STEP, MAT and TMUA.
The following website also has a lot of links to past TMUA papers and worked solutions: https://esat-tmua.ac.uk/tmua-preparation-materials/

As well as the previously mentioned book,

•

the mat livestream notes/worksheets/papers... should help with tmua paper 1 especially and as there are only a limited number of tmua papers, it would be good to do the livestream vids/practice on some mat papers (esp the multiple choice) initially.

•

Similarly for some of the earlier step foundation modules and doing some ukmt smc practice may help with the more elementary questions/not a level focus.

•

theres the notes about tmua paper 2 (logic/proof) which are worth working through

It would be easy to burn through the tmua papers too quickly, so maybe do one years worth in the near future (open book/...) to get a feel about the exam, but leave the rest until the summer/autumn and get the fundamentals in place on mat/smc/... resources between then. Also note the exam changed this year, so the focus may be a bit different compared to past tmua papers.
