Test Results
Results for the ESAT and the TMUA will be released to candidates approximately six weeks after the test window. You will also be able to find an explanation of results here, which will help you to interpret your score.
Final Update – Important Information Regarding the TMUA October 2024 sitting
UAT-UK and Pearson VUE take any reports of misconduct extremely seriously and will thoroughly investigate.
During the October sitting of the UAT-UK’s Test of Mathematics for University Admissions (TMUA), we were made aware of some instances of unauthorised sharing of test content within China.
UAT-UK immediately alerted our testing provider Pearson VUE, who commenced a comprehensive investigation. The investigation has now concluded, and appropriate action will be taken against the offending parties, including any candidates discovered to have breached the terms of our misconduct policy.
Whilst a serious and disappointing incident, there is no evidence to indicate any impact on the confidence we can have in the overall results. UAT-UK and Pearson VUE strongly encourage candidates to visit the UAT-UK webpages for the latest accurate information and contact the Pearson VUE customer services in the first instance for any queries or concerns.
UAT-UK would like to reassure our customers and candidates that there are robust security measures in place for all our tests, to ensure we can have continued confidence in them and the use of the results in admissions processes.
Scoring of the ESAT and the TMUA
Results for the ESAT and TMUA are reported on a scale that runs from 1 (low) to 9 (high) with scores being reported to one decimal place.
Scores are statistically equated so that the results of candidates taking different versions of the test can be reported on a common scale.
For the ESAT, you will receive a separate score for each module that you take. For the TMUA you will receive a single overall score.
You will receive your results via your UAT-UK account approximately six weeks after the date of your test – a reminder email will be sent to let you know your results are available. You will also receive an explanation of results document giving more information about how to interpret your scores.
Your results will automatically be sent to any participating institutions included in your UCAS application.
You do not need to provide your UCAS Personal ID when you register for a UAT-UK account or book your test. UAT-UK and Pearson VUE will work closely with UCAS to match your score for your ESAT or your TMUA to your UCAS application using various other data points you supplied at the point of booking.
The way in which your results are used will depend upon the admissions processes of the courses to which you have applied, and most universities will use results alongside other information from your UCAS application when making admissions decisions.
