Some job applicants must pass the MAT to qualify for internships and staff positions in certain professional and technical fields.

Every year approximately 60,000 people take the MAT.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 are necessary to succeed on the MAT.The MAT is created by the Psychological Corporation and is administered through a network of Controlled Testing Centers. Each Center establishes its own testing schedule, test fee, and other procedures. In general, the MAT is administered once a month throughout the year.Many students at all educational levels have little experience with analogies and find this question type particularly daunting.

The author of our book has written extensively on SAT analogy questions and will take an approach to the MAT that focuses on helping students develop the reasoning skills that are crucial for success. Our book will offer targeted review and practice for all test subject areas, with an emphasis on building the critical thinking skills that will enable students successfully to solve every analogy they encounter.About the Author Kathy A.
