Tell us about your TMUA goals. We’ll confirm tutor availability, fees and suitable demo options.
Know what you’re preparing for
Your test, in context.
Who it’s for
Applicants whose university course specifies the Test of Mathematics for University Admission.
What to expect
Mathematical application and mathematical reasoning, including logical argument. Check the current specification and permitted tools.
Before you plan
Requirements and test sittings depend on the university course and entry cycle. Confirm the exact test, modules and deadline on the institution’s website; a tutoring enquiry is not an exam registration.
Understanding before speed
The skills to focus on.
01
Mathematical application
Connect algebra, functions and other specification topics to unfamiliar problems.
02
Logical reasoning
Analyse implications, conditions and mathematical arguments carefully.
Free learning resources
Practise a skill. Understand your next step.
Choose a topic that fits your current level. These short samples support the skills discussed above; they are not a complete TMUA mock test.
Understand it. Try it. Review it.
Put your functions, quadratics and transformations learning into practice.
Worked example · Functions, quadratics and transformations
Find the roots of x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0.
Find two numbers whose product is 6 and sum is -5: -2 and -3.
Factor: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0.
Set each factor to zero: x = 2 or x = 3.
Common mistakes to check
Treating f(x) as multiplication
Cancelling terms without recording excluded values
Review prerequisite algebra before working on unfamiliar questions. Explain why each condition matters and test a proposed argument with a counterexample where appropriate. Use UAT-UK specifications and sample material to calibrate difficulty.
Use the official requirements and your attempted work to identify the next skill.
02
Practise with a purpose
Review a method, attempt a new task and explain the reasoning in your own words.
03
Review and adjust
Check repeated mistakes and revisit the skill before adding more timed practice.
