About the GAT Junior Exam

The Qudrati Tests (اختبارات قدراتي) are an ETEC/Qiyas series for grades 3 to 10 that measures general abilities such as comprehension, analysis, reasoning, and application, and that ETEC says is designed to simulate the secondary General Aptitude Test (Qudorat). The National Center for Assessment listed a 'GAT Junior' among its educational tests in 2019. This bank covers the intermediate levels: Qudrati (3) for grades 7-8 and Qudrati (4) for grades 9-10. Each level has a Verbal Section (analogies, odd-one-out, sentence completion, contextual error, reading comprehension) and a Quantitative Section (numbers, patterns, shapes and measurement, data and statistics). This is independent practice by OpenExamPrep: an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official ETEC translation or a simulation of the official test.

Exam sponsor: National Center for Assessment (Qiyas), under the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Two sections: Verbal (verbal analogy, odd-one-out, sentence completion, contextual error, reading comprehension) and Quantitative (numbers and quantities, patterns and relationships, shapes and measurement, data and statistics). The series has four levels: Qudrati (1) grades 3-4, (2) grades 5-6, (3) grades 7-8, and (4) grades 9-10.

GAT Junior: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise mental arithmetic and fractions daily without a calculator so that quick number sense, not button-pressing, drives your quantitative reasoning.
2When solving verbal analogies, formulate a clear, concise sentence establishing the relationship between the two stem words before evaluating the choices.
3For odd-one-out questions, determine the shared property that unites three of the options before identifying the outlier.
4In contextual error questions, read the whole sentence for logical coherence; often the error is a word that reverses the intended meaning of an aphorism or factual statement.
5For quantitative pattern questions, check arithmetic differences first, then multiplicative ratios, alternating sequences, or position-dependent rules.
6In geometry and measurement problems, draw or label sketches with given dimensions to visualize spatial relationships and avoid calculation errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Qudrati Tests (GAT Junior) and who administers them?

The Qudrati Tests (اختبارات قدراتي) are administered by the National Center for Assessment (Qiyas) under the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) in Saudi Arabia. ETEC describes them as a series for grades 3 to 10 that measures general abilities and readiness for learning and is designed to simulate the secondary General Aptitude Test (Qudorat). In a 2019 membership application to the IEA, the National Center for Assessment listed a 'GAT Junior' among its educational tests.

Which grade levels are covered by this intermediate practice bank?

This practice bank specifically covers the intermediate and early secondary levels—ETEC's Qudrati (3) for grades 7–8 (1st and 2nd intermediate) and Qudrati (4) for grades 9–10 (3rd intermediate and 1st secondary). It focuses on reasoning skills pitched at middle-school students rather than university admission.

How many questions are on the official Qudrati test and what is the time limit?

ETEC does not publish an official question count or duration in its public catalog entry for Qudrati. Registration is through the beneficiary profile on ETEC e-services. Our independent practice bank provides 100 questions: 50 verbal and 50 quantitative.

Is there a pass mark or official score for Qudrati tests?

ETEC publishes no pass mark for Qudrati. Its stated objectives are to identify and diagnose students' abilities, give parents preliminary indicators of their children's general cognitive abilities, prepare students for the General Aptitude Test from the early grades, and monitor progress through school.

Is the official test offered in English, and how does this practice bank relate to it?

ETEC's Qudrati catalog entry does not state the test language, and we have found no official confirmation of an English version. This independent OpenExamPrep resource is an English-language MCQ study adaptation to help students develop verbal and quantitative reasoning skills; it is not an official translation or a simulation of the official test.
