TMUA score explainer
Enter a score and see where it sits on the official scale. The facts below come from UAT-UK's own results pages.
Where does my score sit?
What the official scale tells you
- You get one overall score from 1.0 to 9.0, to one decimal place. Papers 1 and 2 are equated and scaled together.
- UAT-UK says the scale is designed so that typical candidates score around 4.5, and approximately 10% of candidates score higher than 7.0. Scores below 1.0 or above 9.0 are capped.
- There is no pass mark and no grade boundaries. Most universities use the result alongside the rest of your application.
- Scores are not appealable, because the scoring process is checked at every stage.
Why there is no raw mark to score table
UAT-UK analyses each sitting with a statistical model so that different test forms are comparable. The same number of correct answers can map to slightly different scores in different sittings, so no fixed conversion exists. Its own practice tests deliberately give no score for the same reason. Older conversion tables from before 2024 belonged to a different system and do not apply now. Be wary of any site that offers a precise conversion for the live test.
What our practice results do instead
After a paper we show your marks, your marks by topic and a rough practice band based only on the percentage you got right. It is a prompt for what to do next, not a prediction of your score.
