A week-by-week study plan for the Saudi Qudrat (GAT) exam — verbal, quantitative and exam strategy. Built by top-5% Qudrat tutors.
The Qudrat (GAT) is the single most important exam in a Saudi student's high-school journey. Your score determines university placement, scholarship eligibility, and in many cases, your career path.
Week 1-2: Diagnose your baseline
Take a full-length, timed Qudrat mock under exam conditions. Don't study, don't prepare — just see where you stand. This baseline is the most important data point of your entire prep journey.
Week 3-5: Verbal section deep work
The verbal section trips up most students because vocabulary is built over years, not weeks. Focus on the highest-frequency analogy patterns: cause/effect, part/whole, and degree relationships. Drill 30 questions a day.
Week 6-7: Quantitative speed and accuracy
Most students know the math — they just can't do it fast enough. The Qudrat rewards pattern recognition over computation. Memorize common ratios, squares, and percentage shortcuts.
Week 8: Full mocks every other day
This is where the score jumps happen. Three full mocks under timed conditions, with a tutor reviewing every wrong answer. The goal isn't to learn new content — it's to lock in exam stamina.
What students get wrong
The biggest mistake we see at Najmy is "studying" instead of "training." Qudrat is a test of trained reflexes, not knowledge. Treat it like an athletic event, not an academic exam.
