Structure and Format The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a
60-minute exam consisting of 120 partial analogies. For each of
the 120 test items your task is the same: complete the analogy
by selecting the best of four options. The MAT was developed for
the purpose of gauging scholastic aptitude at the graduate level
by measuring high-level analytical abilities. Specifically, the
MAT measures the following: Your ability to recognize
relationships between ideas (analogistic relationships) Your
English-language fluency (vocabulary, grammar, usage) Your
general knowledge of the humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences, and mathematics Today the MAT is designed and
administered by Pearson Inc. (a for-profit education company)
under its Psychorp™ brand. Some graduate programs require MAT
scores to support a candidate's application. However, a far
greater number of graduate programs accept either MAT or GRE
