MAT For Dummies Review: Good for us dummies - Great guide Review: This book made a difference in my score! - OK, just took the MAT and did pretty well on it. Had I given myself the time suggested in this book I would have aced it. Not all of them right but I would have been in the 95th percentile instead of the 91st. Without I would have been in the high 80's I just know it. Doesn't matter for my school but it might matter for yours. One of the reason I did well is because I have a humanities back ground which does make a difference. You can't learn everything you need to but where this book helped me more than any of the others (that I waited till the last minute to look through) is its straight forward tips and strategies that were spot on. It will help 're awaken' what you already know. If you are/were a humanities major I think this is the only MAT book you'll need. Get a GRE vocab book if your vocab is weak. Brush up on your -ologies and your greek gods/goddess and the major myths, and do every practice test in here. I only did two of them because I didn't start studying to the day before, this is not bragging this is procrastination talking. Two questions on the exam were in this book. One of them I would have marked wrong had it not been explained to me in this book. Who knew there were idiomatic analogies. Even if you don't buy this book, you will need to review for this test, you have to get your mind think in analogies otherwise it will take too long to get into the rhythm of things and you'll waste time.

Good luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practice Tests Gave Accurate Expectation of Score and General Experience *by J***S on May 31, 2016* I bought this on Kindle just to use its practice tests. I didn't even look at the other parts of the book, so I can't comment there. I used the first practice test without a timer, just to get used to what it was like, where to shift my eyes, how to think about the analogies, how much time I would have ... basically, what to expect. Then I took the second and third practice tests. I got 63% and 65% of them right. Then I went and took the MAT. I got a raw score of 63 (432 scaled). So, if you want a fair look at where you are so that you can relax going into it, or so that you can use the other parts of the book to try and boost your score, I think this is a great value. Heck, there were three more practice tests I didn't even use. And some of the familiarity with the specific words and concepts in these practice tests definitely showed up on the MAT. If you are in for a quick preparation, this can't be beat. I have trouble focusing, and I have test anxiety, so this was especially valuable to me for simply understanding the rhythms of the test, the way the thoughts run, how much time to allow myself, how often I would be able to pause my thinking, close my eyes, and take a deep breath to reset my motor. I can't imagine how poorly I'd have done if I had let my runaway thoughts and anxieties kick in. Long story short: worth it for the test exams alone. I knew what to expect, and even what score to expect. Good luck out there. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/2697870-mat-for-dummies-for-dummies-series](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/2697870-mat-for-dummies-for-dummies-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
