MAT: Miller Analogies Test
Although waning in popularity, the MAT is still required by some
graduate programs. According to the brochure published by The
Psychological Corporation, the MAT is:
"...a high-level mental ability test requiring the solution of
problems stated as analogies. It consists of 100 partial analogies
that are to be completed in 50 minutes. Fluency in the English
language, a broad knowledge of literature, philosophy, history,
science, mathematics and fine arts, and the ability to reason out
relationships may contribute to performance on the MAT."
If the graduate programs in which you are interested require the
MAT, and you have already taken the GRE, be sure to contact the
program and ask if you can send your GRE scores instead. Sometimes,
the more widely used GRE score is an acceptable substitute. You
certainly don't want to spend the extra time and money taking the
MAT if it is not necessary. For more information about test sites
