Oxford Mathematics Admission Test (MAT): The Complete Mastery Guide

author-img admin January 3, 2026

Foundations to Advanced Problem-Solving | New Edition with Complete Solutions

The Oxford Mathematics Admission Test (MAT) is not a standard school-level examination. It is designed to assess mathematical thinking, logical depth, and problem-solving maturity—skills that go far beyond routine A-Level or IB syllabus questions.

Many capable students struggle with MAT not because they lack knowledge, but because they have never been trained to think mathematically at this level.

To address this gap, Mathematics Elevate Academy presents a newly updated edition of its flagship resources:

  • Oxford Mathematics Admission Test Mastery Guidebook
  • Oxford Mathematics Admission Test Mastery Solution Guidebook

These books are designed to take students from conceptual foundations to elite-level MAT problem-solving, with a structured, rigorous, and exam-focused approach.

What Makes Oxford MAT Different?

The MAT is not about speed or memorisation. Oxford uses it to identify students who can:

  • Think logically under unfamiliar conditions
  • Build arguments from first principles
  • Translate abstract ideas into precise mathematics
  • Persist through multi-step, non-routine problems

This means:

  • Standard school preparation is not sufficient
  • Solving past papers alone is not enough
  • True preparation requires structured thinking training

About the Oxford MAT Mastery Guidebook

Oxford Mathematics Admission Test Mastery Guidebook is a concept-driven preparation manual, not a collection of shortcuts or tricks.

What This Book Focuses On:

  • Deep understanding of core mathematical ideas
  • Bridging the gap between school mathematics and MAT-level thinking
  • Developing intuition, structure, and clarity in solutions
  • Learning why a method works—not just how

Key Coverage Areas:

  • Algebraic manipulation and structure
  • Functions, graphs, and transformations
  • Number theory fundamentals
  • Geometry and trigonometric reasoning
  • Logic, proof-style thinking, and mathematical argumentation

Each chapter is written to build thinking ability, not just syllabus coverage.


New Edition: Complete Solution Guidebook

The Oxford MAT Mastery Solution Guidebook (New Edition) is a fully worked, step-by-step solution companion, designed for students who want absolute clarity.

What Makes This Solution Guide Different:

  • Every problem is solved from first principles
  • Multiple solution perspectives where appropriate
  • Clear logical progression—no unexplained jumps
  • Emphasis on reasoning, structure, and elegance

This is especially valuable for:

  • Self-study students
  • Students without access to high-level mentorship
  • Candidates aiming for Oxford, Imperial, Warwick, and top UK universities

Who Are These Books For?

These resources are ideal for students who are:

  • Preparing for Oxford Mathematics, Computer Science, or Joint Degrees
  • Struggling with MAT-style thinking despite strong school performance
  • Looking for serious, structured preparation, not superficial practice
  • Aspiring to elite universities where depth matters more than marks

If MAT questions feel “alien” or “unfair,” these books will systematically remove that barrier.


Kindle Edition – Accessible, Affordable, Global

To make elite preparation accessible worldwide, both books are available in Kindle Edition.

💡 Price:

  • £9.99 GBP / $9.99 USD

This allows students across the globe to access Oxford-level preparation at a minimal cost.

How to Use These Books Effectively

For best results:

  1. Study concepts before attempting problems
  2. Attempt questions seriously under time pressure
  3. Use the solution guide to:
    • Analyse structure
    • Understand logical flow
    • Improve clarity of presentation
  4. Re-attempt problems after reflection

These books are most powerful when used as thinking trainers, not answer books.


Beyond Books: Structured MAT Preparation

Books alone can take you far—but MAT is ultimately about how you think under pressure.

If you are looking for:

  • Direct mentorship
  • Structured MAT training
  • Advanced problem-solving guidance

Final Words

Oxford MAT is not about being “good at maths.”
It is about thinking like a mathematician.

The Oxford MAT Mastery Guidebook and Complete Solution Guidebook (New Edition) are built precisely for that purpose—training depth, clarity, and confidence required for one of the world’s most demanding mathematics admissions tests.

If you are serious about Oxford Mathematics, this is where serious preparation begins.

Private Oxford MAT Mentorship — Directly Under Rishabh Kumar

For a limited number of highly motivated students, Mathematics Elevate Academy also offers private, one-to-one Oxford MAT mentorship directly under Rishabh Kumar.

This is not a mass coaching program. It is a deep, personalised mentorship designed for students aiming for Oxford Mathematics and other elite UK universities, who want guidance beyond books and standard courses.

What This Mentorship Focuses On:

  • Developing MAT-level mathematical thinking, not rote methods
  • Breaking down complex problems into logical, solvable structures
  • Strengthening proof intuition and problem articulation
  • Identifying and fixing conceptual gaps at their root
  • Learning how Oxford expects candidates to think, not just answer

Mentorship sessions are highly selective, performance-driven, and adapted to the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and university goals.


Who This Mentorship Is For

This mentorship is ideal for students who:

  • Consistently score well in school mathematics but struggle with MAT-style problems
  • Want direct expert feedback on their reasoning and solution structure
  • Are preparing for Oxford Mathematics, Computer Science, or Joint Degrees
  • Value depth, clarity, and long-term mathematical maturity

It is not suitable for students seeking shortcuts, quick tricks, or superficial exam preparation.


How to Apply for Private MAT Mentorship

Due to the intensive and personalised nature of the mentorship, intake is strictly limited.
