TARA is a UAT-UK admissions test used by participating university courses. Check your course’s requirement before choosing modules or booking a sitting. Three compulsory modules each last 40 minutes: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and a Writing Task.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving receive separate 1–9 scores. The writing response is sent to universities rather than scored by UAT-UK. Official examination information and the current syllabus take priority. AskSia is an independent study tool.
Critical thinking asks whether the argument works, not whether you agree with its conclusion. Keep that separate from the stance you defend in the writing task.
These are study priorities and examples, not published assessment weightings. Use your own syllabus, paper requirements and recent attempts to decide where to spend the next session.
