The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a graduate school admission test that requires the solution of problems stated as analogies. The MAT consists of 120 partial analogies that are to be completed in 60 minutes. (100 of the analogies count;  20 of the analogies are experimental and are being field-tested for future use on new test forms. The experimental items may include verbal, quantitative, or figural analogies and may be located anywhere in the test. The 20 experimental items will not count toward your score.)

The MAT is intended to measure your ability to recognize relationships between ideas, your fluency in the English language, and your general knowledge of literature, philosophy, history, science, mathematics, and fine arts. There is no foreign-language edition of the MAT.

►Before taking the MAT, determine whether or not the graduate schools to which you are applying accept submission of the Miller Analogies Test in lieu of the Graduate Record Exam General Test. Many master's level graduate programs in counseling, education, social work and the helping professions will accept the MAT in lieu of the GRE General Test.
