Advanced Higher MAT (Maths admissions) tutors

2 UK tutors who teach MAT (Maths admissions) at Advanced Higher.

The Maths Admissions Test (MAT) was Oxford's admissions filter for undergraduate maths, computer science, and joint courses from 2007 to 2025; its final sitting was October 2025, and from the 2026 cycle those applicants sit the TMUA instead. Imperial and Warwick, which previously accepted MAT scores, had already moved to TMUA. The MAT's past-paper archive (published freely by Oxford, with worked solutions) remains a well-regarded problem-solving bank, and tutors still use it as supplementary practice for TMUA and STEP preparation. For current-cycle admissions coaching, look for tutors with TMUA experience; see the TMUA listing.

Advanced Higher is the Scottish qualification taken in S6 (age 17-18), administered by Qualifications Scotland (formerly the SQA, renamed February 2026), broadly comparable to A-level in difficulty and used by Scottish students for entry to top UK universities (including English Russell Group institutions where an Advanced Higher pass is required for some courses). Most students take 1-3 Advanced Highers alongside extra Highers or other study. Coursework (particularly the extended project/dissertation in many subjects) carries substantial weight. Tutoring helps most with the project component and with the step up from Higher to Advanced Higher in mathematical and analytical subjects. Look for tutors with explicit SQA Advanced Higher experience.
