How is the dMAT Battery Science subject module structured into basic and advanced tasks?

Your subject module is built in two layers so it can test both breadth and depth in the same 90 minutes. Basic Tasks give you one grounding topic in each of five engineering areas, and Advanced Tasks then push further into two deeper topics per discipline. Knowing this split helps you plan how to spend your limited revision time.

The Two Layer Structure

What This Means for Your Study Plan

• Start with the five Basic Task areas so you have a working foundation across every discipline, not just your own.
• Once the basics feel comfortable, shift most of your remaining time to the Advanced Tasks in your own engineering background.
• Since every question sits inside a reading passage, rehearse extracting numbers and relationships from text quickly rather than only drilling formulas in isolation.
• Remember you get 90 minutes for the entire module, so pace yourself across both layers rather than over investing in one section.

My Advice

Map out a simple two week revision split: spend the first week refreshing all five Basic Task topics using your old Bachelor's notes, then dedicate the second week almost entirely to the Advanced Tasks that match your own engineering stream, since those carry the harder, more discriminating questions. Use the free official practice exercises at each difficulty level to check your pace before exam day.
