The method

How the calculator works

UAT-UK publish how ability turns into a score, but not how a mark turns into ability, because that depends on the version you sat. We rebuilt that half from the TMUA Technical Report 2025-26, so the calculator shows three versions of your score: an easier paper, an average one and a harder one.

For a past paper from 2016 to 2023 there is nothing to estimate. The calculator reads the official table issued after that sitting. Those scores are on the scale used before 2024, so they run higher than today's and do not compare directly.

Questions

About the TMUA score calculator

Is this the official TMUA conversion?

For 2024 onwards there is no official conversion to give. UAT-UK publish no table, because each version of the test is scaled after the window closes. This calculator estimates it from their technical report. For past papers from 2016 to 2023 it uses the official tables, which were published.

Why does it show three scores?

The same mark earns a different score on a harder version of the test, and you cannot know which version you sat until results come out. The middle figure assumes an average paper. The other two show how far an easier or harder paper would move it.

Do I add my two papers together?

Yes. Since 2024 the TMUA reports one overall score from your total out of 40, so the calculator adds Paper 1 and Paper 2. There are no separate paper scores any more.

Can I compare a past-paper score with a 2024-onward score?

Not directly. Scores before 2024 were on an older scale that ran higher. Durham is the one university to state an equivalence, and it treats a 6.5 then as about a 5.0 now.
