TMUA October 14th 2025 Scores

It is my observation that the TMUA scores for equally able students who sat the October 14th sitting are significantly lower than expected compared to those who did the exam on October 13th.

I suspect there is an error in the scoring of the October 14th sitting.
Has anyone scored higher than 8.0 on October 14th?

I sat the 14th as well and honestly the scores do seem noticeably lower across the board compared to the 13th. A lot of really strong students I know ended up in the 3–6 range when they were consistently scoring much higher in practice.
That said, I don’t think there’s an actual scoring error more likely the 14th paper was just harder or the cohort happened to perform differently. I haven’t personally seen anyone above 8.0 from the 14th sitting yet though, which is definitely unusual.
