If you want to apply for mathematics, computer science and economics related courses at Cambridge University, Imperial College or other British universities, you must take the TMUA test. The TMUA score is important in determining whether you can be admitted. However, many students and parents are unfamiliar with registering for TMUA, when to start registration, which test to sit, etc. This blog will provide a detailed introduction and guidance for you.
TMUA has two tests. Applicants applying to Cambridge University must take the test sitting 1 in October. The key dates for the two tests are as follows:
1 August 2024
TMUA registration opens
16 September 2024
Online test registration closes
16 and 17 October 2024
Test sitting 1 day
Week commencing 25 November 2024
Test results will be made available to candidates
24 October 2024

9 December 2024

Week commencing 17th February 2025

The organiser of the TMUA test will be changed to UAT-UK (University Admissions Tests – UK) in 2024, who is a not-for-profit organisation that owns and delivers two computer-based undergraduate admissions tests: the Engineering and Science Admissions Test (ESAT) and the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA).
And UAT-UK tests are delivered by Pearson VUE through their global network of more than 5,500 locations in more than 180 countries. Pearson VUE is the certification and licensure arm of Pearson, one of the world’s leading learning companies, providing assessment services to many institutions in the academic and admissions space.
If you need to make the access arrangements, it’s recommended to register for TMUA as early as possible, as the later in the registration window you book, the less chance there is that it will be possible to accommodate your access arrangements at your preferred time, day or test centre. Requests for most access arrangements can take up to ten working days for UAT-UK to review.
What’s more, all applications for access arrangements must be supported by appropriate evidence, such as from a medical professional or a qualified specialist teacher. The supporting evidence must give a clear outline of the disability, illness or learning difficulty.

When applying for mathematics, computer science and economics-related courses at Cambridge and other British universities, students must have a comprehensive understanding of TMUA information, preparation strategies, and how to register for TMUA to ensure a smooth application process.
