Oxford MAT Results &
Admissions Analytics
Explore the definitive results for the Oxford Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT), covering 18 years (2007-2024) of cohort performance. Our dashboard visualises the widening gap between the global average and the ‘Successful Applicant’ benchmark, alongside the declining offer rates driven by a 130% surge in application volume.
Strategic Insights from the Data
Insight 1
The 21-Point "Offer Gap"
The data reveals a stark reality: while the global cohort average hovers at 50.9, successful offer holders average 71.9. This huge gap quantifies the specific distance between having “good mathematical ability” and being “Oxford-ready”.
Insight 2
Hyper-Competition & The Squeeze
As application volumes have surged by 130% (from ~1,100 to ~2,700), the interview shortlisting rate has compressed from a historical high of 77% to just 28%. In this landscape, a “passable” score is no longer sufficient; only top-decile performance guarantees an interview.
Insight 3
Defining the "Shortlist Safe Zone"
The average score for shortlisted candidates currently sits at 65.0. This figure serves as your primary strategic anchor—the statistical “safety baseline” required to survive the first cut and progress to the second stage.
