Barron's How to Prepare for the Mat, Miller Analogies Test
by Robert J. Sternberg
Published 1 January 1986
Updated to reflect the most recently given Miller Analogies Tests, this manual presents eleven sample tests that reflect the actual MAT in length, format, question types, and degree of difficulty. A description and analysis of the MAT gives clear examples of the different kinds of analogies that make up the exam. An added review section gives approximately 1,100 more practice questions with answers. The book also describes sound strategies for test preparation and offers advice on ways to fight test anxiety.
Overview: This updated manual prepares prospective MAT test takers with a diagnostic test and ten full-length practice exams. Self-scoring answer keys follow each test and answer sheets for test-takers' use are located at the back of the book. Also presented are approximately 1300 additional practice exam questions with answers, plus advice on solving analogy problems. Helpful brush-up check lists cover graduate level vocabulary with brief definitions, selected foreign words and phrases used in English and their meanings, and names of important persons in history, science, technology, and the arts that test-takers should be able to recognize. The Miller Analogies Test is a timed word-association test widely used to screen applicants to graduate level academic programs and as a placement exam for management positions in many businesses.
