A circular is sent by the Center to all secondary schools all over the kingdom including the necessary registration information. Students can also visit the Center's website and check the timetable.

How many times can you sit for GAT?
A student not satisfied with his GAT score is allowed to sit for this test more than once. It is not expected, however, that a student shall have a big difference in score if he/she takes it once more, under normal conditions. A student may produce any of the GAT results he obtained to the university he is applying for. The test is strictly standardized to ensure equity and fairness.
Results
Answer sheets are machine-graded and results are listed and printed and then announced. A student can receive GAT score via the Center's website or through an SMS for those registered for this service. Results are electronically sent to universities and colleges. For student who did the test more than once, only the highest score is sent. GAT is no Pass-Fail test. The recorded score that the student receives represents the relevant position that the student occupies among the total number of students taking the test. Every higher education institution in Saudi Arabia has its own method of interpreting the relevant weight of GAT vs. General Secondary School final score. Competition in university admission is then based on the combined total scores of the GAT and General Secondary School in addition to the score obtained in any achievement test administered by the university (if required).
Is GAT a Pass/Fail test?
As we have noted, GAT is no Pass/Fail test. This 100-point test carries a certain relative weight interpreted by the institution the student applies for. GAT score should not be compared to that of General Secondary School score. What really matters is the relevant position of the student compared to those of other students, according to the following data:
81 and above Top 5 %
78 and above Top 10%
73 and above Top 20 %
70 and above Top 30 %
65 The average
60 and below Lowest 30 %
