Common questions.
UCL uses it for courses including Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Science and Mathematics. Oxford uses it for courses including PPE, Economics and Management, Human Sciences, Experimental Psychology, History and Politics, and History and Economics. Most Oxford applicants sit in October. Requirements change, so confirm on your university's admissions page.
No. UAT-UK does not score it; your response goes to your chosen universities and is read alongside your application. Noetra keeps the same 40-minute and 750-word limits. Paid plans add written feedback, read against the published criteria of the essay tasks TARA replaced. Universities form their own view; the feedback is preparation, not a prediction.
There are three full TARA mocks, each a Critical Thinking paper, a Problem Solving paper and a Writing Task, so six timed papers and three Writing Tasks in all. The practice banks add over 100 more TARA questions, none of which appear in a mock. A plan also includes any paper added before its access ends.
It is Noetra's own calibration, not an official result. UAT-UK publishes no conversion tables, and the real conversion changes with every sitting depending on how hard the questions were, so treat it as a guide to your progress rather than a prediction.
Yes. You can sit a paper on a phone, and the timer, question navigator and review all work at phone size. The real test is taken on a computer at a test centre, so we recommend a laptop or desktop for full mocks.
No. Every question is original, written to the public TARA specification. We replicate the format, the timing and the interface, not the actual content.
Every plan covers all three TARA modules and every ESAT and TMUA paper, so a change of course list costs nothing more. Plans are one-time payments, not subscriptions, and the refund policy is published in plain English.
