What Does Our Oxford MAT Test Tutoring Cover?

Our Oxford MAT test tutoring is carefully crafted to address all the essential skills, techniques, and topics tested in the MAT. Here’s what our tutoring covers:

We begin by reinforcing foundational mathematical principles. Our tutors work with you to ensure you have a strong grasp of key topics such as algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and sequences. You’ll deepen your understanding of these areas, which allows you to handle even the more complex questions confidently.

The MAT test is known for challenging students with unconventional problems that require innovative thinking and adaptability. Our tutors focus on developing advanced problem-solving skills, and guide you through practice exercises that strengthen your approach to challenging problems under timed conditions.

Since calculators are not allowed in the MAT, mental maths agility is crucial. Our Oxford MAT test tutoring programme places an emphasis on building mental calculation skills. This training is essential for the MAT, your overall mathematical fluency, and puts you in good stead for your Oxford interview.

Success in the MAT depends on effective time management and exam technique. Our tutors provide insight into managing time efficiently during the exam, identifying which questions to prioritise, and knowing when to move on. You’ll also learn practical techniques for checking your answers quickly and minimising common mistakes.

Our MAT tutors incorporate practice from real MAT papers, to allow you to become familiar with the question format, difficulty level, and most common question types. We also conduct regular mock exams under timed conditions to simulate a real test environment. These practice sessions give you invaluable experience, reduce exam-day anxiety, and help you refine your approach for the best possible performance.

Each student has different strengths and weaknesses. That’s why our tutors provide personalised, constructive feedback after each session. We help you identify your strengths and address areas that need improvement, refining your approach as you progress. By tracking your development closely, our tutors ensure that you’re consistently improving as you prepare for the MAT.

Oxford MAT Exam Structure and Key Topics 

The Oxford MAT is a two-and-a-half-hour exam designed to assess candidates for entry to Maths and Computer Science courses at Oxford. 

The test is now computer-based and includes 25 multiple-choice questions and two long-answer questions that require clear, logical solutions. Since calculators are prohibited, students must be proficient in mental maths and manual calculations. 

The syllabus is based on the AS Level Maths syllabus with some A Level Maths topics included. However, candidates will be expected to demonstrate ability beyond the school syllabus in order to impress the Oxford admissions tutors. Key topics include manipulating algebraic expressions, applying calculus techniques for optimisation, understanding trigonometric functions, and solving complex geometry problems.  

Success in the MAT also relies on effective time management and problem-solving under pressure. Regular practice with past papers and targeted guidance from our tutors help students build confidence, refine exam strategies, and approach each section with a clear plan, which are all essential for a competitive MAT score.

From start to finish, everything was clearly communicated and all my questions and concerns were answered (even the most obvious ones!). My daughter has an offer from her first choice university and couldn’t be happier. The staff really care about the students and work hard to ensure the best outcomes for them.”
