Historical context, not your chance. Oxford PPE's 2025-26 round had 1,885 applications, 681 shortlisted and 261 offers (36.1% and 13.8% of all applications). That round used the TSA, not TARA.

Questions people ask
Does Oxford or UCL publish a TARA cut-off?
No. None of the 16 courses in this tool publishes a TARA pass mark or minimum score for 2027 entry. UCL Computer Science says TARA is considered alongside your grades and personal statement.
Do I have to do the TARA Writing Task?
For most courses, yes. Oxford's Economics and Management and History and Economics pages say the Writing Task can be left out only if no other course you apply to needs it.
Can I take TARA in January?
Only for some courses. Oxford courses need the October 2026 sitting, except PPE with Foundation Year. UCL's Computer Science degrees accept October 2026 or January 2027.
What TARA score do I need for Oxford PPE?
Oxford publishes no TARA score for PPE. As context only, Oxford PPE's 2025-26 round, which used the TSA, had 1,885 applications, 681 shortlisted and 261 offers.
What is the TARA test for?
It is an admissions test for 10 Oxford courses, including Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and 6 UCL courses, including Computer Science, for 2027 entry. It has Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and a Writing Task.
What courses at UCL require TARA?
For 2027 entry: Computer Science BSc and MEng, Computer Science and Mathematics MEng, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence MEng and Mechanical Engineering BEng and MEng. Mechanical Engineering is new to TARA this year.

How we work this out
What it does
Every Oxford and UCL course that lists TARA for 2027 entry: what it asks for, and where your scores sat among 2026 candidates.
The 16 Oxford and UCL courses that list TARA for 2027 entry, their published module and sitting rules and deadlines, and the 2026-entry score distribution. Cambridge lists no TARA course in the sources checked.
Method
- Course rules are copied from each university's own course and admissions-test pages. Where a rule could not be found, such as the module rule for UCL Mechanical Engineering, the tool says so instead of assuming one.
- Your scores are placed against all 2026-entry candidates using the same method as the score percentile calculator: straight lines between UAT-UK's printed percentiles.
- Historical admissions numbers (Oxford PPE's 2025-26 round, UCL Computer Science's 2024/25 applications) are shown only as context and are labelled as pre-TARA.
