1. Test Attempts: You can take the GAT Test up to five times, with the following combinations allowed:

   • 3 paper-based and 2 computerized

   • 2 paper-based and 3 computerized

   • 1 paper-based and 4 computerized

2. Test Structure: The GAT is divided into two sections:

   • Quantitative (Math): This includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, analytical, and statistical questions.

   • Verbal: This consists of sentence completion, verbal analogy, contextual error identification, and reading comprehension. Note that "finding the odd word" has been removed from the computerized version.

3. Paper-Based Test:

   • Format: Contains 5 sections and 120 questions.

   • Registration: Available twice a year, once in each academic term.

   • Results: Grades are released approximately one month after the test.

4. Computerized Test:

   • Format: Contains 4 sections and 96 questions.

   • Registration: Available year-round; you must book at least 3 days in advance.

   • Testing Method: Administered on a computer, with a magnetic tablet for writing. You can request pen and paper if needed.

   • Results: Grades are typically available within 2 days to 2 weeks.

5. Scientific vs. Artistic Sections:

   • Scientific: 50% quantitative, 50% verbal.

   • Artistic: 30% quantitative, 70% verbal. Algebra questions are excluded for artistic students.

6. Why Take the First Exam as Paper-Based?

   • Taking the paper-based test helps familiarize you with the format and types of questions.

   • Computer-based questions tend to be fixed and may be direct translations of the Arabic exam. The source file for these is known as "105," although it may change.

   • The paper test includes 120 questions, some of which are experimental and do not affect your score. The computerized version has only 96 questions.

   • Once time is up for a section, you cannot go back to review answers in the computerized test, making it crucial to manage your time effectively.

7. YouTube Resources for Qudrat Preparation:

   • Imad Al-Jaziri: Covers basics and skill development.

   • Fahad Al-Tamimi: Focuses on foundational concepts.

   • Khan Academy: Offers a wide range of tutorials.

   • You can also search for specific topics to find additional videos.

8. Recommended Books for GAT Preparation:

   • Excellence in GAT and معاصر ٦ بلس are among the best resources. Since GAT-specific materials are limited, using Arabic textbooks is highly recommended. The معاصر book is excellent for quantitative preparation. For verbal skills, enhancing your vocabulary through reading and using tools like "Google Word Coach" or vocabulary apps can be beneficial.

9. Top GAT Courses: While I haven’t personally tried them, "Aziee" and "Zamatime" are recommended. Aziee may be on the pricier side but is well-regarded. However, taking a course is not strictly necessary, and experiences may vary.

10. Starting with the Al Moaser Book: If you find the Al Moaser book challenging, consider starting with the basics through Imad Al-Jaziri and Fahad Al-Tamimi on YouTube, and then return to the book for more advanced practice.
