TARA · On the roadmap

TARA, built in the right order.

We’re building Problem Solving first because it is the component where timed, on-screen practice with verified answers can genuinely move performance. Critical Thinking follows once the first papers meet the same standard.

Roadmap means roadmap: no pretending unreleased papers exist.

Components

Three components. Different kinds of evidence.

TARA is sat as a single session. The two scored multiple-choice components are timed on screen. The Writing Task is sent to your chosen universities and read alongside your application.

Later

Critical Thinking

Evaluating arguments, identifying assumptions, spotting flaws and drawing sound conclusions from structured passages.

Building now

Problem Solving

Quantitative and analytical problems: data interpretation, pattern recognition and multi-step inference against the clock.

Unscored

Writing Task

A short written response on a set topic, sent directly to universities. It needs a different product, so it comes later.

Why first

Problem Solving matches Noetra’s verification standard.

Multiple-choice analytical questions can be checked answer-by-answer and reviewed for fast no-calculator routes. That makes the feedback trustworthy enough to train from.

  • Timed practice transfers: pace and accuracy decide the score in the same way they do for ESAT and TMUA.
  • Answer keys can be verified: every released paper must pass the same checking standard.
  • Feedback is actionable: timing and topic data point to the next practice decision.

Until TARA lands

Train the exam engine now.

ESAT Paper 1 is free during launch. It uses the same timed interface, review flow, instant marking and feedback model that TARA Problem Solving will use.

Question 1 is waiting.
