What actually comes up — one exam at a time, from our own classification of every question in the published papers.
Revision advice is usually generic because the people giving it have not counted anything. These pages are the opposite: we take an exam, classify every question in the papers that have already been sat, and publish what the distribution actually looks like — including the parts that suggest you should spend less time somewhere.
Each page shows its method in full: which papers, which years, and how questions were assigned. None of it predicts a future paper. It tells you where the marks have historically been, which is a better basis for prioritising than instinct.
Every question in the published TMUA papers, 2016–2023: 320 questions across 16 papers. Paper 2 turns out to be 43.8% pure reasoning — a share that has been rising — while Paper 1 concentrates 64.4% of its questions into just four topics. Full topic and subtopic tables for both papers.
The five reasoning skills Paper 2 actually tests — necessary vs sufficient conditions, implication vs the converse, negating quantifiers, choosing a proof method, and finding the exact step where a proof fails — each explained with a full worked example, sourced from the official specification.
More exams are being added. For topic frequency across GCSE, A-Level and IB papers board by board, see the topic priority calculator. If you are switching tests this cycle, we also cover what changed when Oxford retired the MAT for the TMUA.
The harder half is knowing where you stand against it — and having someone turn that into a plan with an order and a deadline.
