I am returning to school to obtain a Master's degree and the program that I will be entering requires the MAT (Miller's Analogy Test) as part of the admission requirements. Does anyone have any imput regarding this test? The good, the bad and the ugly, please! I have begun studying, but would like to avoid any unnecessary potholes while preparing. I purchased the Princeton Review - any other suggested resources? Thanks!

I took the MAT in 1997. You are so lucky that is the test they want...50 minutes and you are done!!!
Step 1. Read about the different types of analogies. There are about 15 different kinds. Just get familiar with them.
Step 2. Take one of the practice tests and see how many your got correct. Look up your test score based on which group you are competing with. If that score is good enough, then just try to be rested for the test.
Step 3. If you want to improve your score, you will have a better chance by practicing the test than by studying material. Do practice tests to gain confidence and learn what tricks to watch for.
I scored 71 correct on my first practice test and figured that was good enough. I got 76 on the real test which was 95 percentile. Two of my friends did just as well or better.
The MAT is biased against non-native English speakers. If you are a native English speaker you have an advantage.
