Admissions Tests

Depending on the graduate program in which you wish to enroll, you may be requested to take a graduate admissions test.

Miller Analogies Test (MAT)

·       The MAT is a high-level mental ability test requiring the solution of problems stated as analogies.

·       Performance on the MAT is designed to reflect candidates’ analytical thinking, an ability that is critical for success in both graduate school and professional life.

·       Through analogies with content from various academic subjects, MAT scores help graduate schools identify candidates whose knowledge and abilities go beyond mere memorizing and repeating information.

·       The analytical skills measured by the MAT are key to success in graduate school and are highly valued by graduate programs.

·       For more than fifty years, the MAT has proven to be a reliable and valid test for assessing candidates for graduate school.

·       Predictive validity studies conducted by Pearson and by independent researchers have shown positive correlations between MAT scores and subsequent success in graduate programs.
