Overview

We are running an online course to prepare students for the MAT (Mathematics Admissions Test), which is the mathematical admissions test used by the University of Oxford and Imperial College.

There is one paper consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions followed by four long questions.

This course will consist of seven one-hour online sessions. Students are also welcome to enrol on our similar course for the TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission), but there is no obligation to attend both courses.

The online course for the MAT will run in September and October, with exact dates to be confirmed nearer the time.

Aims

• To introduce mathematical problems at the difficulty level of the MAT.
• To develop students' problem-solving skills so they have confidence in applying for universities that require the MAT or take it into consideration.
• To provide support for students preparing for the MAT.

Who will benefit from attending?

Students currently in Year 12, who will be going into Year 13 in September 2023.
Students who are anticipating sitting the MAT in Autumn 2023.

Materials and equipment

All that is needed to participate in the sessions is a computer with a broadband internet connection. No further equipment is needed – communication with the course tutor during the live sessions is via the instant chat feature of the virtual classroom in which the sessions take place.

Cost

The fee for the course is £60, though there are some funded places available to those eligible.
