How MAT is conducted

Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking

Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
MAT time strategy
With 16 questions in 150 minutes, you have about 563 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Q1 — Multiple Choice (10)
Target ~180 sec/question. If a question takes more than 270 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Q2-Q7 — Long-form (6)
Target ~1200 sec/question. If a question takes more than 1800 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.

Why: Factors as (x - 4)(x - 5) = 0.
Q2-Q7 — Long-form (6) · Probability
Q2. Two fair dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum is 7. Justify by listing outcomes.

Q3. If x + y = 19 and x - y = 1, what is x?
Why: Adding: 2x = 20 → x = 10.
Q2-Q7 — Long-form (6) · Calculus — Chain Rule
Q4. Differentiate f(x) = (3x² + 1)⁵ using the chain rule. Show each step.
Why: f'(x) = 5(3x²+1)⁴ · 6x = 30x(3x²+1)⁴.
Q1 — Multiple Choice (10) · Algebra — Exponents
Q5. Simplify: 2^6 × 2^7 =
Why: Same base: add exponents.
Q2-Q7 — Long-form (6) · Calculus — Product Rule
Q6. Differentiate f(x) = x²·eˣ using the product rule. Justify your method.
Why: f'(x) = 2x·eˣ + x²·eˣ = x·eˣ(2 + x).
