How to Register for MAT Oxford?

MAT exam registration for Oxford University commenced on 18th June 2025. To register now, you can follow the steps below. We have provided step-by-step instructions below:

Get Your UCAS ID Number 

The first step is to have a UCAS ID number. The UCAS application registration started on June 13th 2025. You can register your UCAS application, but you do not have to submit the same! When you register for the UCAS, you need to provide the necessary details about yourself. Once this is done, you can see the UCAS ID number in the top right corner of the UCAS application. 

Visit the Oxford Admissions Test Registration Portal

Visit the Oxford University official website, and go to the admissions test page. There you will find the link to the Oxford admissions test registration portal. Visit the registration portal and choose to register as a new applicant. You will be asked to provide your email address and password. You have to use the same email address you used for the UCAS application. Once you create a new account, you will receive a confirmation email.

Fill Out the Registration Form

At this stage, the MAT exam registration starts. You will be shown a guidance page from which you can continue to the registration page. You will be asked for 4 things:

1. Your personal information (eg, your name), 
2. Your contact information (eg, phone number, address, city)
3. UCAS information (eg, UCAS ID, course details)
4. Access arrangement (eg, if you require accommodation, more time)

By the time you complete the UCAS information, you will be automatically registered for the MAT examination. The access arrangement page is only for those who can prove that they are in a situation where they require special arrangements. You can choose no if you do not require such an arrangement.

Submit the Registration Form

After completing the above steps, you can review your MAT exam registration form. Thereafter, submit the registration form and wait for on-screen confirmation. Once you have registered, if you have any queries, you can access the messaging service (left-bar) and contact Pearson VUE. 

Book your Test Slot 

Now that you are done with the MAT exam registration, you can book your test slot. On 18th August, log in to your account. Since the Mathematics Admissions Test is conducted on two days, you have the option to choose between these days. Choose the date you like, and register your test centre. You can change your test centre or reschedule your examination up until 26 September 6 pm BST. 

After submission of your test slot booking form, an automatic confirmation will be sent to you. Check for a confirmation email from Pearson VUE in your inbox.
