Editing Miller Analogies Test (section)

==Format and scoring==
In the fall of 2004, the exam became computerized.<ref>{{cite book |title=Candidate Information Booklet 2011-2012|chapter=Taking the Miller Analogies Test: Registering at a Controlled Testing Center|publisher=NCS Pearson |date=2011|chapter-url=http://psychcorp.pearsonassessments.com/haiweb/Cultures/en-US/Site/Community/PostSecondary/Products/MAT/subpages/Introduction.htm}}</ref>

Out of the 120 questions, only 100 counted in the test-taker's score.  The remaining 20 questions were experimental.  There was no way for test-takers to identify any of the 20 experimental questions on a given test form, as the two types of questions are intermingled.

Tests taken before October 2004 were scored simply by the number of questions the test-taker answered correctly, with a range from 0–100. Scores using this metric have historically been known as "raw" scores.

Tests taken in October 2004 or later had a score range from 200 to 600.  The median score was 400, with a [[standard deviation]] of 25 points. These scores, based on a normal curve, are known as "scaled" scores.  Because of their grounding in this model, scaled MAT scores of 500-600 were extremely rare, as they would have been more than four standard deviations above the norm of 400.

[[Percentile]] ranks were also provided along with the official score report.  Test-takers received an overall percentile rank as well as a percentile rank within their intended graduate school discipline.

The Miller Analogies Test used to be accepted by [[American Mensa]], and still is by [[Intertel]], the [[Triple Nine Society]], the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry and the Prometheus Society for its admission requirements.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Qualifying test scores|url=https://www.us.mensa.org/join/testscores/qualifying-test-scores/|access-date=2021-03-15|website=American Mensa|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Intertel - Join us|url=https://www.intertel-iq.org/join-us|access-date=2021-03-15|website=www.intertel-iq.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Tests & Test Scores - International Society for Philosophical Enquiry|url=https://www.thethousand.com/tests_test_scores.php|access-date=2021-03-15|website=www.thethousand.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Join or Subscribe – The Prometheus Society|url=https://prometheussociety.org/wp/join-or-subscribe/|access-date=2021-03-15|language=en-US}}</ref> Intertel requires a raw score of 74 on the "old" MAT, or a score at the 99th percentile on the modern one. The ISPE and the Triple Nine Society require at least a raw score of 85 on the "old" MAT, and at least 472 on the modern one. The Prometheus Society requires at least a raw score of 98 on the "old" MAT, and at least 500 on the modern one.<ref>{{Cite web| title =MENSA qualifying test scores| url =http://www.us.mensa.org/Content/AML/NavigationMenu/Join/SubmitTestScores/QualifyingTestScores/QualifyingScores.htm| url-status =dead| archiveurl =https://web.archive.org/web/20070210170103/http://www.us.mensa.org/Content/AML/NavigationMenu/Join/SubmitTestScores/QualifyingTestScores/QualifyingScores.htm| archivedate =2007-02-10}}</ref>
