Reminder: the 15 October deadline is the last date for test centres to register you for the test, so you will need to register with a test centre well before then. Test centres may set their own deadline in advance for accepting registrations, so please make sure you speak to them as early as possible.

MAT costs 2021

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing does not charge candidates who have applied to a course requiring the MAT at the University of Oxford.

Some centres charge an administration fee to candidates sitting the MAT which covers the cost of invigilation, despatch costs and room hire which are essential for running the test: contact your centre for details.
