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 from June to October, 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.

A recent survey of first-year Oxford Maths students found that more than half of them had engaged with the Oxford MAT Livestream while applying.

Schedule

Recordings of the 2024 livestreams are included in the table below. Please note that the content in future years is likely to be very similar!

The MAT Livestream will return in June 2025.

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.
