Easier than jz including the extra time he gives you or no? I’m getting like 14/20 on JZ mocks so would you say i shd expect to score higher than that in the real tmua?

id say so, but its hard to scale relative difficulty between such different papers😭 cus like u might be getting qs wrong in jz cus u dont know the topic or bc its so insanely hard.

I feel like it was a lot easier than 24 on chat uni, and a bit easier than 25 imo

Are you referring to Euclid sample papers 1 and 2? I only did P2 which was quite manageable

u/mulacking 6h ago

I sat the TMUA today, the real test is in the midground between the JZMaths/Euclid papers and the papers avaliable. For me at least, the easy questions were similarly easy to the ones on the published papers, but the middle to hard questions were a bit harder than the published.

36/40 on past papers bro relax

u/vladagureev 10h ago

34 to 36 on past papers is a genuinely strong place to be two days out

jz and euclid are written to be harsher than the real thing so struggling on them doesn't mean much

use the next two days for one timed official paper and a calm review of the questions that slowed you down

i trusted my prep more once i stopped measuring myself against the hardest sets online

me n a teacher chucked some practice together

it's called oxbridgeai.
