This might be a dumb request, but can you define what you mean by 'mat' and 'step'?

STEP (sixth term examination paper) is Cambridge's version of an admissions test, generally you start studying for it in Jan of Year 13 and take up to 3 formal exams (STEP I, II, III) in June along with your other A Level exams. Warwick definitely uses STEP too.

MAT is Oxford's Maths Aptitude Test, I think Durham uses it too but don't quote me on that, it's basically an entrance test.

I can't really speak for STEP, but Oxford is the only one that requires MAT for Computer Science. I registered for MAT today and on the screen where you tick whichever uni/course you want to send your result to, only Warwick, Oxford and Imperial were there. Warwick & Imperial, however, only require it for courses ran by their respective maths departments. So it's only Oxford.

Cambridge has their new CompSci admissions test. They give out STEP offers if you do CS + Maths for first year.
Imperial sometimes give out STEP offers for banter. Unsure what they do with maths and comp sci
