Welcome to the third set of MAT (Miller Analogies Test ) practice questions. These questions are modeled on real MAT questions to help you get accustomed to the real test’s style. As you take the test, be sure to circle questions you guessed on and review questions them carefully. Review your mistakes as well.
If you knew all the terms in the MAT question and still missed it, your analogy-solving technique may need work. If you didn’t know one or more of the terms, take the time to look up their definitions.
