Preparing for the test

Covid-19: important information for TMUA candidates

Here’s a summary of the changes to the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA) due to Covid-19:

• TMUA will not run on 4 November as previously scheduled, instead it will run on 5 November 2020. 
• TMUA will still be taken at your chosen centre but you will take it on a computer rather than with pen and paper. The test format will remain the same.
• Your school/centre will be able to advise whether you should bring your own laptop or if a computer will be provided for you.
• You should register for the test through your centre in the usual way.
• Due to the computer-based format of the test, the test fees have changed. 
• A reimbursement scheme is in place for those who cannot afford the standard test fee.

For full details of the test fee changes and reimbursement criteria, please visit the TMUA dates and costs page.
