Test of Mathematics for University Administration
The TMUA or Test for Mathematics for University Administration is designed for applicants to Oxford or similar level universities. Applicants who are already not a part of the Oxford educational system or are from different nationalities are the ones who end up taking this test. It is designed to provide students with a good opportunity to demonstrate all the essential mathematical skills that they might have. Reasonable thinking alongside a good knowledge of computers and economics altogether will make a student ideal for acing this test.
Registering for the TMUA
There are applicants in many universities, who can choose whether they want to share their results or not with the unis. TMUA is a risk-free opportunity for all students who have decent potential. It can assist students in getting good marks and showcasing the same during their admission process for getting a special preference. Even if the student does not get a good marking on the test, it is totally up to the applicant whether they want to disclose the same during the admission process.
If a student is applying to Cambridge, then this becomes a non-negotiable thing. Economics and Computer science students will have to take the TMUA test, except for mature students in that classification. In that case, there is no chance of disclosing the results, as they will be published on the university website.

So, a student will have the liberty to guess a question that they are not so sure about. The final making will be provided on the overall performance in both the papers and students will be given a score of 1 to 9, where 9 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. There will be scores provided on each of the papers so the applicants will be able to understand in which area they are lacking knowledge the most.
