Dictionaries or any other reference aids are not permitted when taking the MAT.

TROY University Dothan is a Controlled Testing Center, licensed by the Psychological Corporation to administer the MAT.  Standardized testing procedures are strictly adhered to, and any irregularities are reported to the Psychological Corporation.

Applying for special administration for candidates with disabilities:

If your disability requires extra time for assistance to take the MAT, you will be given a non-standard administration.  To qualify for a nonstandard administration, you must provide the Test Center with a current letter from a licensed physician, optometrist, or psychologist (including title, address, and telephone number) on his or her letterhead describing the nature of your disability as it applies to taking a multiple choice, standardized test, and specific accommodations you will require for testing.  The testing coordinator will contact the Psychological Corporation on your behalf and discuss the appropriate arrangements.  The decision to administer the test to you will be made by the Controlled Test Center and the Psychological Corporation staff.
