I'm not sure about MAT, but GREs ("Graduate Record Examination") are one
of the tests run by "Educational Testing Service" www.ets.org .  The GREs
are used by universities when you apply for masters degree programs.  The
same company runs the SATs which are used when you apply to undergraduate
programs in colleges/universities.  The GREs test verbal and math skills,
and have a part for testing writing skills also.
