Maths Admissions Test (MAT)

Oxford

The MAT is unlike any other test you've had

All students applying to read Maths and its joint schools at Oxford are required to register for the MAT by the 15th October. The test will be sat on 31st October and will take 2½ The marks required to be invited for the interview differ every year. For example, in 2017 shortlisted candidates averaged 68.7 points, whilst successful applicants averaged 73.6 The corresponding scores for 2016 were 66.7 and 73.1, respectively. 
 
It’s worth noting that from 2018 onwards, the MAT will no longer feature the remainder theorem, radians and the trapezium rule.

What we can do?

Our mentors will take you through the necessary mathematical skills which you are expected to demonstrate in your test. They will also grade your work during your session, providing you with an indicator of whether you’re on track with your preparations.

One to One and Classes

Doxa provides classes and one to one tuition; all tutorials are an hour long. We recommend the one to one sessions to students seek tailored advice that is specific to their skill level, and who would like to receive detailed and personal feedback on their work. Students can choose, in addition to the main tutorial, to submit completed test papers in advance. Mentors will then mark these papers before the tutorial and run through them during the tutorial. 
 
 Our classes provide you with a general introduction to the structure of the MAT, the marking criteria and ensure that students understand what is expected of them and what skills they are expected to demonstrate if they are to excel in their test.
 
 All our lessons are run by former Oxford students who have themselves taken and successfully completed the MAT.
