看看MBS官网上对MAT考试的介绍，听说其实不难，就是简单的心理测试，简单的运算
On 1 February 2012 we are launching a new admissions test for the Global MBA programme, the ManchesterMAT.  Original Thinking Applied is incorporated into everything we do.  Taking the test will be your first experience of our unique approach to business education and set up a good foundation for you as a student of the Manchester Global MBA programme

This is not a test which you simply pass or fail, but one which is designed to provide relevant, additional information on your suitability for the programme and useful information for you if you join the MBA.

The online test does not require any preparation but you will need to set aside one hour of your time when you can focus without distraction, as the test is normally taken once and must be completed in one session.  

You do not need to attend one of our Centres to take the test as you can take it online in the convenience of your home or office. You will need a computer with a good internet connection and a calculator.

The ManchesterMAT has three sections and takes 60 minutes:
Part 1:  Characteristics of Business Success
The first part of the test is a psychometric questionnaire.  Your responses to the questions provide your unique business profile in areas such as leadership, motivation, creativity and problem solving.  The questionnaire has been developed through the original research of MBS faculty who are experts in the field of business psychology.  There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ responses in this
section.  You simply need to answer the questions instinctively
Your business profile will provide a fascinating starting point for discussion during the Professional Development and Leadership courses, which are essential components of any world class MBA programme and help us to provide a tailor made career service to you as a future student of the Manchester Global MBA programme.  You will be able to identify your business strengths and the areas where the MBA can help you to further develop your leadership and management skills to enhance your career.
This section has no time limit and takes about 20 minutes to complete.

Part 2:  Business Numeracy
The second part of the test consists of 10 numeracy questions and is designed to let us find out if you are familiar with the financial numbers you deal with during everyday business life.  No preparation should be required to be successful in this section.  
Numeracy is a necessary skill for the financial elements of an MBA.  If you do not do well in this section you may still be offered a place on the programme, based on the other elements of the application process. We will however encourage you to do some numeracy preparation before the start of the programme.
This section is timed.  You have 20 minutes and can use a calculator.

Part 3:  Business Reasoning in English
The third part of the test is a short written English assignment to help us assess your English level and share with us what you think.  You can choose a topic from a selection of broad business subjects.  Drawing on your business experience and views, you will be asked to write up to 500 words in English to share with us how you think about these issues and their impact upon business.   
This section is timed.  You have 20 minutes to write up to 500 words.
