Common questions
How does ENGAA compare to ESAT?
ENGAA Section 1 is the closest match for ESAT Maths 1, Maths 2 and Physics. Section 2 is useful for harder physics-style questions, especially from 2020 onwards where it overlaps NSAA Section 2. Skip anything flagged as out of spec in the PDF.
Which paper is best for ESAT Mathematics 2?
ENGAA Section 1 Part B is the best legacy source. TMUA Paper 1 is useful once you need extra material.
Should I do ENGAA Section 2?
Only after closer material. It is harder Physics, includes out-of-spec content and is less similar to current ESAT. From 2020–2023 it duplicates NSAA Section 2 Part X.
How should I use these papers?
Do at least one paper under timed conditions near the end of prep. Review every mistake with the answer key before moving on. Use the score converter to turn raw marks into scaled scores where conversion tables exist.
