FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About TARA Tutoring

What UK admissions tests does AP Guru offer tutoring for?+

We offer expert 1-on-1 tutoring for all major UK university admissions tests including LNAT, UCAT, ESAT, TMUA, MAT, STEP, PAT, TSA, CAT, HAT, ELAT, and BMAT. Each programme is tailored to the specific test format, timing, and scoring system.

When should my child start preparing for UK admissions tests?+

We recommend starting 3-6 months before the test date, depending on the test. Tests like UCAT (taken in summer) require preparation from early spring, while autumn tests like LNAT and TMUA should have prep starting in the summer. Our tutors create a timeline based on your specific test date and starting level.

How are AP Guru's admissions test tutors different from generic test prep?+

Our tutors specialise in specific UK admissions tests and understand the exact question types, timing challenges, and scoring criteria. Unlike generic prep courses, every session is 1-on-1 and tailored to your child's strengths and weaknesses, with regular timed mocks and detailed score analysis.

Do you provide mock tests for UK admissions exams?+

Yes. Regular full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions are a core part of every programme. After each mock, your tutor provides a detailed score breakdown, identifies patterns in errors, and adjusts the preparation plan to target specific weaknesses.

Do you help with essay and writing sections?+

Yes. Tests like the LNAT, CAT, HAT, and ELAT include demanding essay components. For these, our tutors teach proven essay frameworks, run timed writing drills, and give detailed feedback on argument quality and structure. For tests without essays, prep focuses entirely on the question formats that test actually uses.

Is online tutoring effective for admissions test prep?+

Very effective. Our 1-on-1 online format means students get undivided attention from a specialist tutor, flexible scheduling around school commitments, and the ability to practise with shared screens and digital whiteboards. Most of our students are based internationally, and our online model has consistently delivered strong results across all UK admissions tests.
