Are you thinking of applying to study Mathematics at university? We're running a weekly livestream talking about maths problems and discussing problem-solving strategies, with a focus on Oxford's Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT). The sessions are free and available for everyone, and are recorded so that you can watch them later even if you can't join us live. No registration needed. In 2024, the MAT livestream is running on Thursdays 17:0019:00 (UK time).

[TBC] stands for "to be confirmed". The schedule is subject to change without notice.

There is a practice test to demonstrate what the Pearson VUE system looks like. The practice test is available here. The questions are all past MAT questions from 2007-2022. The solutions have been collated in this document; Practice MAT Solutions. For more past MAT questions and worked solutions, see the table of past papers on MAT page, or join in with the MAT livestream on this page.

 

Looking for a PAT livestream?

If you're thinking of applying for Physics, Physics & Philosophy, or Engineering, or Material Science at Oxford, then you'll be expected to take the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT) rather than the MAT.

There's a programme of live PAT support on the Physics website here.

Looking for CS interview questions?

If you're thinking of applying for Computer Science, you might like the interview questions discussed on Prof. Varun Kanade's blog here.
