Request a score/transcript report

Pearson Assessment is the company that owns the Miller Analogies Test. Official score reports/transcripts must be requested directly from Pearson Assessment. UA Little Rock accepts only official score reports that come directly from the company that owns the exam.

Appointment to test at UA Little Rock

Testing Services uses an online appointment scheduler. One must have an appointment to test as walk-ins are not permitted. You may access the scheduler to make your appointment, or enter the URL ualr.at/exam. You will submit your test fee payment during the online scheduling process.

What to bring

    Two forms of identification are required:
  • Primary photo identification with your current legal name. This photo ID must be issued by a GOVERNMENT (for example, driver’s license, passport, or military ID) or a COLLEGE or UNIVERSITY. Other types of photo ID (for example, work IDs, photo credit cards, club membership cards, etc.) are NOT acceptable.
  • Secondary ID such as a Social Security card, birth certificate, credit card, library card, voter registration card, or utility bill with your name and address.
  • NOTE: The names on your primary and secondary IDs must match and must be your current legal name. If you do not have appropriate ID, you may not test.

Do not bring

  • You are NOT permitted to take anything into the test room, including purses, backbags, books, papers, etc. Your personal items will be locked in a locker while you test, or you may choose not to bring such items with you.
  • Electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, scanners, watches of any kind, etc. are NOT permitted in the test room, even if they are turned off and in your pocket. Please do not bring these items with you, or be ready to store them in a locker.
  • Food, drinks, candy, gum, cough drops, etc. are NOT permitted in the test room.
  • Scratch paper and pencils are provided by Testing Services.

Length of test

The MAT will take approximately 75 minutes from the time you sit down at a computer. Allow a few additional minutes for us to check your ID and collect your fee. (The actual test has a 60-minute time limit, but it will take you a few minutes to read the preliminary directions on the computer.)

Scoring Information

You will see your unofficial score as soon as you complete testing. Official score reports will be sent to you and to the schools of your choice by Pearson Assessment; not by UA Little Rock Testing Services. According to the Candidate Information Bulletin: “You will receive your personal score report two to three weeks from the date that Pearson Assessment receives your test.”
