There are no TARA past papers yet. The official TARA archive gives you 37 old TSA and BMAT Section 1 papers instead. This video sorts them for TARA practice: TARA vs TSA vs BMAT, which years to use first, how Critical Thinking and Problem Solving compare, how to turn old papers into TARA-style practice, and the TSA to TARA score conversion. For students sitting the TARA for Oxford and UCL (2027 entry).

The archive page, paper covers and questions shown (BMAT 2017 Question 1, TSA 2020 Question 3 with its explained answers, BMAT 2012 Questions 8 to 11) are official UAT-UK and Cambridge Assessment material, shown for comparison. The TSA to TARA conversion is GhostPrep's estimate from the published TSA results charts for 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2018 and UAT-UK's first TARA score distribution; there is no official conversion. The year bands, difficulty comparisons and order of practice are GhostPrep's judgement.
