Pace Problem Solving: solve, park or guess
One lesson trains the call on each question: solve it now, come back, or guess and flag.
Open the timing gym →Every wrong answer names its trap
Pick a wrong option and you see the slip behind it, such as a reversed rule.
Try lesson 1 free →A Writing Task clock with stages

Questions TARA students ask
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Start the free lesson, try Critical Thinking and figure-based Problem Solving questions, then write a complete Writing Task. The sample needs no account. Try the mixed sample
Is it worth paying when free papers exist?

Who writes the questions, and are they checked?
Every question is original, written to UAT-UK's TARA question guide, and passes an independent answer check before it goes live. Official TARA materials
Is the Writing Task marked?
UAT-UK does not score it; participating universities receive your response. Choose one of three prompts and write for 40 minutes, up to 750 words, then check it against a structural checklist. Try a complete Writing Task
