MAT Practice Test #2

Here’s the second MAT practice test. Again, this exam is similar to a real MAT and helps you get accustomed to the way the MAT poses questions. Remember to use good technique throughout the test as you take it. If you want to make the experience realistic, thendon’t just look through the test. Instead, take it all at once, timed strictly, in a room where you won’t be interrupted for an hour.

As you take the test, it’s a good idea to circle questions you guessed on — after all, if you get them right, it may just be luck. Review questions you guessed on as carefully as you review questions you got wrong. After taking the test, review your mistakes and guesses as best you can so you learn as much as possible from the experience. Good luck!
