| Miller Analogies Test-MAT |
|
|
| |
| The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a high-level test that requires the solution of problems stated as analogies, to assess cognitive ability of the candidates for graduate schools. The test aims to measure your ability to identify relationships between ideas, your competency in English language, and your general knowledge of the subjects, including natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and mathematics. |
| |
| Application Procedure |
| |
| The MAT is administered at more than 500 Controlled Testing Centers (CTCs) in the United States, Canada, and worldwide. All the functional CTCs are listed on the MAT Web site under ‘Find a MAT Testing Center’. |
| |
| Structure of the Exam |
| |
| The MAT is one hour duration exam, which consists of 120 partial analogies and your answers to 100 of these items will account for your final score. The remaining twenty are experimental items being included to be used in future MAT test forms. It remains unknown to the examinees, for which items are experimental, obliging them to perform equally well on each item. |
| |
| Each MAT analogy item serves two objectives: a specific type of analogical relationship, and a specific subject matter or content area. The percentage of MAT items meeting each objective differs from each test form to another. |
