保護者・受験生向け日本語ガイド
TMUAはCambridgeの数学・コンピュータサイエンスなどを含む複数の大学・学科への出願者が受験する数学適性テストです。問題の解き方よりも、数学的に考え、推論する力を測ります。
Cambridge数学・コンピュータサイエンス・経済学(TMUA使用学科)、Durham・Nottingham等の一部学科。志望大学のウェブサイトで最新要件を必ずご確認ください。
日本国内のPearson VUEテストセンターで受験可能です。受験枠は限られています。登録は通常夏頃に開始されます。
海外受験:約£130(詳細はUAT-UKサイトで確認)
10月受験。UCAS出願締切(10月15日)前後に実施されます。
TMUAはA-Level数学の知識を前提としていますが、問題の形式はA-Level試験とは大きく異なります。時間制限下での素早い数学的推論が求められるため、早めに対策を始めることが重要です。
以下は詳細情報(英語)です。お子様と一緒にご確認いただくか、講師にご相談ください。
セクション 01
The TMUA is part of the UAT-UK admissions-test framework. For 2027 entry, it is the central pre-interview admissions test for Cambridge Mathematics, Cambridge Computer Science, and Cambridge Economics; for Oxford's Mathematics and Computer Science family courses (replacing the MAT); for Imperial Mathematics and Mathematics & Computer Science (also replacing the MAT); and for Warwick Mathematics (accepted alongside STEP). The format is two 75-minute multiple-choice papers.
The TMUA is part of the UAT-UK admissions-test framework, administered alongside the ESAT and TARA.
For 2027 entry, TMUA is the central pre-interview admissions test for Cambridge Mathematics, Cambridge Computer Science, and Cambridge Economics. Oxford has also moved its Mathematics and Computer Science family — Mathematics, Mathematics and Statistics, Mathematics and Philosophy, Mathematics and Computer Science, Computer Science, and Computer Science and Philosophy — to the TMUA, replacing the MAT. Imperial Mathematics and Mathematics & Computer Science have likewise moved to the TMUA, and Warwick Mathematics accepts the TMUA or STEP.
Unlike STEP, the TMUA is used for pre-interview shortlisting rather than as a condition of an offer.

セクション 02
The TMUA consists of two papers, each 75 minutes long. Paper 1 (Applications of Mathematical Knowledge) tests your ability to apply A-Level mathematics to unfamiliar problems. Paper 2 (Mathematical Reasoning) tests your ability to evaluate mathematical arguments and proof.
Both papers are multiple-choice (20 questions each). The mathematical content is drawn from A-Level Mathematics (not Further Mathematics), but questions require deeper reasoning than standard A-Level exam style.
The test is computer-based and taken at authorised UAT-UK test centres in the October window.
合計時間: 2 hours 30 minutes
セクション 03
Each paper produces a scaled score; an overall score is reported alongside per-paper scores. Confirm the current scoring detail on the official UAT-UK TMUA page before relying on a specific scale.
Universities use the TMUA score in different ways — some as a threshold, some as a ranking factor, some alongside academic record and personal statement. There is no universal pass mark.
Cambridge uses the TMUA score in interview shortlisting; Oxford uses it for the courses listed above. Treat any single "competitive" figure cautiously and always check the current published policy for your course.

セクション 04
TMUAの対策は「仕様の理解 → 過去問演習 → 難問対策 → 模擬試験 → 本番」の流れで進めると、得点が最も伸びます。
公式の出題範囲を確認し、学校の進度と照合して、基礎の理解に欠けがないかを点検します。TMUAの問題はすべて、この範囲内で成り立っています。
古い年度から順に過去問を解き、問題形式・時間配分・採点傾向に慣れます。直近5回分は、本番1週間前のために残しておきます。
過去問にはほとんどの生徒が苦戦する問題が必ずあります。私たちのTMUA問題バンクは、こうした難問に絞り込んだ演習と、本番で時間内に解ききるための解法戦略をセットで提供します。
Access the question bank →本番に近い形式・難易度の最新の模擬試験(specimen)を、本番と同じ条件で時間を計って解きます。試験前1週間が理想です。
十分な睡眠・身分証明書・許可された電卓の確認など、当日の段取りを前日に確定させ、自信を持って本番に臨みます。

セクション 05

Common TMUA mistakes include spending too long on individual questions, neglecting Paper 2 (reasoning), and treating it like a standard A-Level exam.
A specialist tutor can help you develop the proof and reasoning skills Paper 2 rewards, which are rarely taught at school.
セクション 06
Past TMUA papers are available on the official UAT-UK website and are the single most important preparation resource. Work through every available paper under timed conditions.
The STEP Support Programme and Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) provide problem-solving material that develops TMUA-relevant skills.
Past MAT papers are useful supplementary practice for Paper 1 (problem-solving), but their format and pacing differ — work the official TMUA materials first.

セクション 07
TMUA registration is through the UAT-UK booking system via an authorised test centre — your school or, for private candidates, a Pearson VUE centre.
For the 2027-entry UAT-UK cycle, account creation and registration opens 1 June 2026, booking opens 20 July 2026, and booking closes 28 September 2026. The main test window is 12–16 October 2026, with results released on 16 November 2026. Verify these dates on the official UAT-UK page before booking.
International candidates sit the TMUA at the same UAT-UK test centres as UK candidates. Confirm centre availability early in the booking window.

セクション 08
中国からの出願者
中国からの出願者は、Oxbridge・Imperialの英国出願者プールの中でも最も競争の激しい層のひとつに位置します。各テストボードは公式に合格・不合格ラインを公表していないため(UAT-UKは「pass/fail はない」と明記)、特定のスコア閾値を保証することはできません。一方で、トップ層の中国人出願者は上位パーセンタイルに集中する傾向があり、TMUAのスコアは面接候補者選考における重要な指標のひとつになっています。 現実的な目標は「最低基準のクリア」ではなく、出願コースの上位パーセンタイル帯にスコアを揃えることです。
中国以外の海外出願者
中国以外の海外出願者にとっても、Oxbridge・Imperialの実質的なハードルは公表されている最低ラインを大きく上回ります。志願者過多のコースでは、強い書類同士から選ばれるため、競争力のあるTMUAスコアは差別化要素のひとつになります。 特定の閾値を断言することはできませんが(テスト提供者は公式に閾値を公表していません)、目標は最低ラインではなく上位パーセンタイル帯です。
TMUA is sat at authorised UAT-UK / Pearson VUE test centres worldwide. Centres exist across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas.
Book early — TMUA test slots fill fastest in countries with large UK-applicant pipelines.
The same scoring scale applies to international and domestic candidates. The test is designed with concise question wording and mathematical notation to minimise language load.
