The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a high-level mental ability test requiring the solution of problems stated as analogies. It consists of 120 partial analogies that are to be completed in 60 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. There is no foreign-language edition of the MAT. No one is permitted to use a dictionary or any other reference aid when taking the test.

The MAT is available as a computer-based test or a paper-based test. Additional information about the test can be found at www.milleranalogies.com.

The MAT is administered through a network of Controlled Testing Centers licensed by Harcourt Assessment, Inc. While Harcourt Assessment has rigorous procedures that all Centers must follow, each Center establishes its own testing schedule, test fee, and other procedures. Candidates apply directly to a Controlled Testing Center to take the MAT. The Center is responsible only for administering the MAT; Harcourt Assessment does all scoring and reporting of scores.

Temple University is an MAT Test Center and the test is administered weekly, by appointment only. The computer-based version of the test is usually offered on Wednesday afternoons. The paper-based version of the test is usually offered one Saturday a month.

All MAT testing is by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call (215) 204-8611, Monday-Friday, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, at least one week in advance. The fee for the examination is $60, payable by check or money order (made out to Temple University), payable at the time of testing.

At the time of testing, in addition to the examination fee, candidates must present two forms of identification: one must be a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or passport) or a school-issued photo ID with a signature; the second can be another form of identification, such as a social security card or a birth certificate.

Important Note: Candidates who have taken the MAT previously must say so when making their appointment. If the candidate has taken the test within the past twelve months, he/she must bring a retest admission ticket to the test session.

At the time of testing, candidates may designate up to three score recipients. Candidates should bring the exact addresses of score recipients and the program within each school or college where scores should be sent. Failure to bring the correct names of the programs and the complete mailing addresses may delay score reports.

Scores will be mailed by Harcourt Assessment and received by candidates and the designated score recipients approximately three weeks after testing. Candidates are responsible for verifying that the score reports reach the correct score recipients. (There will be an additional charge by Harcourt Assessment if a duplicate score report is requested more than five weeks after the date of the test.) A preliminary score report from the computer-based test administration is available on the day of the test.
