About the Miller Analogies Test
Overview
|
The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a test of analytic ability that consists exclusively of analogy questions. It measures your ability to recognize the relationships between ideas, language fluency, and general knowledge of literature, science, history, philosophy, mathematics, and fine arts.
Analogies are set up to demonstrate two parallel relationships. They are written in the form A: B :: C: D. In each problem, one term will be missing, which you must select from a multiple-choice list.
The test includes 100 core items that are counted toward the final score, and 20 experimental items that are not. All test items are written as analogies with one term missing and four choices to fill it in.
Test Dates
The MAT is offered on various dates throughout the year.
Test Locations

Scoring
You can expect to see your score report within about two weeks of taking the test. You will receive a scaled score and two percentiles: your score as related to others with your major and your score as related to the rest of the group who took the same test. Scaled scores are reported in a range between 200 and 600; percentiles range from 1 through 99.
