intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus
character-that is the goal of true education

“ Knowledge will bring you the opportunity to make
a difference

“ The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit
is sweet

“ The only source of knowledge is experience

QUDRAT GAT
What is the GAT?
The GAT is an acronym for General Aptitude Test. The General Aptitude
Test (GAT) (Qudrat) has been in use for several years as one of the
major tools in selecting students who will be admitted to universities
and colleges throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

What does this book


aim at?

Introduction
This book has been created to guide students andd
direct them towards a complete understanding
of the most effective methods of getting prepared
for taking the General Aptitude Test (GAT).
Throughout a variety of examples, along with
detailed explanation and model tests, this book
allows students to have further practice and
enables them to assess their own ability to pass
the GAT with a high score. In addition, an answer
key is included in the book after each model test.

Raise your score


in the GAT throughout Real Practice Tests:

This book provides students with a


variety of practice tests which are
designed to enable test-takers to
deal with all types of questions they
are likely to encounter when they
take the General Aptitude Test (GAT).
All questions are designed to meet
the student's needs and efficiently
help them to develop strong
understanding of how to answer each
type of questions correctly.

A
What does the GAT

consist of?
The test consists of six parts. All
questions are multiple choice, with four
possible answers marked as A, B, C, and
D. The test-takers select the best answer
and mark their choice on the answer
sheet. The answer sheets are then
machine scored.

Introduction
A student can receive GAT score

through an SMS for the Center's website:


those registered for www.qiyas.sa
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.

E
Is the GAT a
Pass or Fail test?
QUDRAT GAT

The 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.
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 infographic:

Important notice:
In the actual test, your scores for the multiple-choice sections will
be determined by the number of questions you answer correctly.
Nothing is subtracted from a score if you answer a question
incorrectly. Therefore, to maximize your scores it is better for you
to guess at an answer than not to respond at all. Work as rapidly
as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much
time on questions that are too difficult for you. Go on to the other
questions and come back to the difficult ones later.

2 solving problems by using some relations
s

We can use some relations as:

1 (x + y)2 = x 2 + 2 × y + y 2.
2 (x - y)2 = x 2 - 2 × y + y 2.
3 x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y).
4 x3 + y 3 = (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2).
5 x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2).

Example 1

Rules
If x - y = 5 and x2 + y2 = 31 , find the value of xy?
Solution
A (x - y)2 = x2 - 2 × y + y2
52 = 31 - 2 × y Strategies
2 × y = 31 - 25 = 6 xy = 3

Example 2
If x2 - y2 = 45 and x + y = 9 , find the value of x - y?

How to Pass the General Aptitude Test with

the Highest Score


Rigorous preparation is needed. The General Aptitude Test (GAT) is easily passed
with a high score as long as you strengthen your foundation throughout regular
practice. This will help you to get the best score.
Practice as many aptitude tests as you can before taking the real test. The more
questions you practice the more confident you will be. Always remember that
(Practice Makes Perfect). Therefore, you have to practice General Aptitude Tests
as much as possible; their format is repetitive and the more you practice the
better your score will be.
Familiarize yourself with each type of question. Ensure that you have a full
understanding of what is expected from each section of the GAT.
Manage your time. If you get stuck, don’t let the clock run down, move on, you
might find the next question easier and you’ll pick up more marks by moving on.
You can always come back to questions later.
Don’t guess wildly. Your aptitude test score will be made up of a combination of
speed and accuracy. It’s important not to haphazardly guess to try to finish all
the questions. Work carefully and as quickly as you can. The more questions you
practice the quicker you will get.
Get used to reading the types of comprehension passages
tested in verbal tests. Again practicing them regularly will
make passing them easy.
Increase your vocabulary on a daily basis. This will help
you get well-prepared for the GAT.
Try language analogies whenever you get time. This
will definitely help you to get the best score
for this part of the test.
Get plenty of sleep the night before
your test, and remember that
being fresh will improve
your performance.

What does verbal analogy assess?

Verbal section
The purpose of verbal analogy tests is to assess your verbal reasoning ability. They
concentrate on relationships, specifically the relationship of one word to another and
therefore of one idea to another. As a result, they do not usually include difficult or
problematic vocabulary words - most of the words used will be familiar to you.
Verbal analogy questions are designed so that one or two words are missing and you
are given choices from which you must complete the analogy. Solving the analogy
problem involves three separate processes.
1- You have to understand the meaning of the question words.
2- You have to determine the relationship between the words.
3- You have to be able to complete the analogy so that each pair of words has the
same relationship.

How to answer verbal analogy questions?
Verbal analogies are sometimes written in abbreviated form using symbols. In an
analogy, a colon represents the words is to. For example (success: passed) should be

relationships
read as (success is to passed).
Analogy
Similarly, two colons :: should be read as: (in the same way as).
For example, (sail: cloth) :: (oar : wood), means that (sail is to cloth) in the same way as
(oar is to wood). This is true because a sail is made of cloth and an oar is made of wood.
Comprehension

First try to understand the relationships expressed in the question words. Then choose
Reading

your answer so that the relationship in the first pair of words is similar to the relationship
in the second pair of words in terms of meaning, order and function.
Check that the parts of speech used in the two sections of analogy are consistent
and follow in the same sequence. For example, if the first pair of words contains an
adjective and a noun in that order, then the second pair of words must contain an
Tests

adjective and a noun in the same order.

123
Analogy Practice
QUDRAT GAT

A good way to figure out the relationship in a given question is to make up a sentence
that describes the relationship between the first two words. Then, try to use the same
sentence to find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with
another pair of words.

4- Read ALL the choices. Do not rush answering if you think you found the correct
answer. The next answer might be a better answer.
5- Take note of the difference between the true answer and correct answer. Carefully
read the passage and understand the ideas it communicates. Be sure that your
answer is based on the passage and not your own opinion or prior knowledge.
6- Do not spend a lot of time in one question. If you cannot find the answer even if
you refer to the passage, eliminate the obviously wrong choices, and choose your
answer from the remaining choices.
7- Review your answers. If you finished the exam early, go back to the questions
where you have doubts. Reread the passage and answer the question.

Male lions are rather reticent about expanding their energy in hunting. More than three
quarters of kills are made by lionesses that are in front. They are tensely scanning
ahead looking for a prey to hunt. The cubs lag playfully behind and the males bring up
the rear, walking slowly, their massive heads nodding with each step as if they were
bored with the whole matter. But slothfulness may have survival value. With lionesses
which are busy hunting, the males function as guard for the cubs, protecting them
particularly from hyenas.

Speech is great blessing but it can also be great curse, for while it helps us to make our
intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also if we use it carelessly, make our
attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of unusual word, or of an
ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend.
However, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech
of an educated person may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. Unwittingly, we
may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from what it does to
men of our own class. Therefore, speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but
it is the one which demands careful handling. Consequently, only a fool will express
himself alike to all types of people and in all conditions.

Organizations are institutions in which members complete for status and power. They
also compete for resource of the organization, for example finance to expand their
own departments, for career advancement and for power to control the activities of
others. In pursuit of these aims, groups are formed and sectional interests emerge. As
a result, policy decisions may serve the ends of political and career systems rather
than those of the concern. In this way, the goals of the organization may be displaced in
favor of sectional interests and individual ambition. These preoccupations sometimes
prevent the emergence of organic systems.

Reading Passage 6
Energy First is one of the UK’s most innovative energy suppliers. They were the first energy supplier
in the country to offer smart meters free of charge to their customers. These computerized meters
submit automatic electricity readings for once an hour and once daily for gas. This information goes
directly to the customer’s online account, allowing them to view and monitor energy usage. By
understanding how much money they are spending on energy, it is strongly believed that people can
take control of how much energy they use and make significant savings to their monthly bills.
If, within 7 days of submitting the form, a person changes his mind about switching energy
suppliers, he doesn’t have to worry. They give people a 7-day cooling-off period during which they
can cancel their application with no penalty. And once a person has become a customer, he’ll be
contacted over the phone by a local installer to arrange a convenient time to fit his smart meters.

The Rio Grande

relationships
(1) Although not the longest river in America, the Rio Grande is one of the most important. Analogy
But, unlike other significant rivers, it is not used for shipping. In fact, oceangoing
ships cannot navigate the waters. No, what makes the Rio Grande so important is its
location. Since 1846, it has been the official border of Texas and Mexico.
Comprehension
Reading

Rio Grande Geography


(2) The Rio Grande is either the fourth or fifth longest river system in North America. It
all depends on how it is measured. Because the river twists so much, it occasionally
changes course. And these course shifts can cause it to be longer or shorter. At its last
Tests

official measure, the Rio Grande clocked in at 1,896 miles. The river starts in Colorado
and extends downward to the Gulf of Mexico.

145
QUDRAT GAT

(3) Downward is the best way of describing it too. Not only does the river extend south,
but it also starts in the mountains and gets lower and lower in elevation as it extends
to the Gulf.
(4) Its name is Spanish for the “Big River,” but the Rio Grande is actually known as Rio
Bravo in Mexico. “Bravo” translates as “furious,” so the name makes sense. Because of
its twists and turns, it certainly does seem to be angrier than most rivers!

The Rio Grande Today


(5) The Rio Grande today is mostly used as a source of drinking water. Sadly, much
of the water has been drained from the river. Parts of the river are almost dry! This is
because people use more water from the river than the river can get back from rain
Verbal section

and other sources. Experts are working to correct this, though, with hopes of restoring
the river to its past strength.
(6) Today, the river is important as a source of water for Texans and Mexicans. More
important, it is a symbol of cooperation between two nations. Though borders like
the Rio Grande separate nations, they are also shared spaces. The Rio Grande is
therefore a symbol of friendship and peace between two peoples.

A It is a source of drinking water for most of the United States.

B It is the border of Texas and Mexico.

Read the following passage, then choose the best answer to each of the
questions that follow:

Fruit Fly Fix


1. It is breakfast time. You have been looking forward to eating a nice ripe banana
ever since you woke up. Just when you reach for the delicious piece of fruit on your
counter, you see something that makes you much less hungry: a swarm of fruit flies!
2. Fruit flies are tiny insects that are attracted to ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables.
Verbal section

The flies not only eat the fruit, they also lay their eggs there. A single fruit fly can
lay up to 500 eggs on the surface of a piece of fruit. Within eight days, the fruit flies
that hatch from these eggs are full adults that can then lay their own eggs. As you
can see, what might start out as a small fruit fly problem can become very large
very quickly.
3. Although there is a chance fruit flies can carry germs on to your food, this is not
very likely. Fruit flies are annoying, but they probably will not hurt you. Because
they are such a nuisance, however, most people want to get rid of these pesky bugs
as quickly as possible. Some people use pesticide sprays on the fruit flies. Although
this will kill the flies, it will also spread harmful poison all over your kitchen. Luckily,
there is also a completely safe way for you to get rid of fruit flies in your house.
completion
Sentence

The first step is for you to remove all fruits or vegetables from your counter. Store
these items in the refrigerator or in sealed containers. Clean up any spilled juice or
bits of food that might be on the floor. Take out the trash and empty the recycling
relationships

bin. Wash any dirty dishes that are in your sink. Doing all of these things will stop
Analogy

new fruit flies from finding food or places to lay their eggs.
4. Next, make a trap to catch all of the remaining fruit flies in your house. First, fill
a small bowl with a few tablespoons of vinegar. Then, put a piece of very ripe or
Comprehension

rotting fruit into the vinegar. Cover the bowl very tightly with a sheet of plastic wrap
Reading

and poke a few very small holes in the wrap with a fork. If all goes according to
plan, the flies will enter the trap through the holes but will be unable to fly back out.
This trap will catch all of the remaining fruit flies. You can either kill these flies or
release them outdoors.
Tests

Fruit flies can be a pest, but they do not have to make you crazy. With a little effort,
you can get existing flies out of your house and prevent new ones from taking over
your kitchen.

152

19 In reading this passage, we learn that fruit flies
I. die immediately after they lay their eggs
II. can grow into adults after only 8 days

A most sprays do not actually kill all of the fruit flies
B buying sprays can get expensive if you need to use a lot of them
C the sprays take too much time to work
D it can be dangerous to use them in your kitchen

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. World War II began. Britain and

called blitzkrieg. This German word translates to "lightning war.” The German army
toppled countries before the countries knew what hit them. By June, Hitler had captured
Paris, France.
For two years the United States tried to ignore the war. At the end of 1941, the U.S.
was pulled into the war. The country was attacked by Japan. On December 8, 1941, the

From the days of the ‘Martian canals’, once thought by many to have been made by

preoccupation with gathering data in the hope of providing us with more information,
Tests

our fascination with the Red Planet continues. In the early days of space exploration,
visits were restricted to ‘fly-bys’, such as those by the Mariner probes, whereby craft
would simply pass the planet, taking pictures and obtaining data as they went. The

177
QUDRAT GAT

Viking ‘orbiters’ were next, and later craft in the Viking series, known as ‘Landers’,
began to probe the mysteries of its surface, equipped with instruments which continued
to relay data about the environment until they stopped working.
Recently, modern Rovers move around the planet’s surface as they gather information.
Current proposals include missions to study terrain, climate, and soil components, in
order to determine, amongst other things, whether the planet can ever have supported
carbon-based life forms. Scientists now believe that at some stage the planet cooled
dramatically, resulting in the near-loss of its atmosphere and, thanks to erosion
features, mineral deposits and other factors, it is also believed that liquid water once
flowed there.
Verbal section

One of the most recent craft is Phoenix, a Rover which landed in November 2008. Named after
the mythological bird, Phoenix’s mission was to obtain samples from beneath the surface
by digging into the arctic ice, while its high-resolution camera provided geological data and
other equipment scanned the atmosphere, measuring temperature and pressure in a bid to
discover whether the chemicals necessary for life might exist beneath the surface. The craft
was expected to send back data for three months, but managed to hold out for a further two.
An especially important part of the project was the need to maintain sterility of the
equipment, in order to ensure that any organic material collected was not contaminated
by ‘hitchhiking’ terrestrial microbes.
In the future manned landings may be possible – and though it may seem an
outrageously difficult undertaking, plans have already been discussed for the ‘terra

Verbal section

We've built an all-encompassing web of technology dedicated to avoiding people. We shop


online so we can avoid people in the supermarket. We spend a fortune on a home theatre
system so we can avoid the annoyance of going to the cinema. Filter from your world that
chatty person next to you in a queue by plugging in your iPod and texting your mates.
The problem is that tolerating annoyance is necessary in a world populated by other
people who aren't you. As long as you have needs, you'll have to deal with people you
can't stand from time to time. Technology is ensuring we lose that vital ability.
These days, whatever your interests, you can find a forum and meet a dozen people just like you.
Say goodbye to the painful process of dealing with somebody who's different. That's another Old
World inconvenience. Fifty years ago people were unable to filter their peers in this way, but still
managed to have more close friends than we have now – people they could trust.

They say 40 percent of your personality is lost in the text transition, so do your online
friends even really know you? How often do they get a different message than the one
you sent? For example, sarcasm is just mismatching the words with the tone. So how
can we effectively communicate by text or email? In face-to-face conversation, only

The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1889.
It was built for the World's Fair to demonstrate that iron could be as strong as stone

Called "the father of the skyscraper," the Home Insurance Building, constructed in

Cars of the Future


If Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, came back for a visit today, he would
be amazed to see how cars have changed. When Ford manufactured cars in the early
1900s, the car had one purpose: to transport people from one place to another more
quickly than in a horse and carriage. But in today’s fast-paced world, a car must
Tests

do much more than simply transport people. People want a car to provide comfort,
efficiency, information, and connection to the world.

QUDRAT GAT
Today, people of all ages spend many hours every day in the car. Many people have
to commute to work or school. They want to be able to do other things while they
drive. Drivers want to be able to talk on the phone, or get directions if they are lost.
Passengers want to be able to watch videos or go on line. Technology has already
made these things possible.
What about cars of the future? The most exciting changes will be thanks to the Internet.
For example, some cars already have a Global Position System, or GPS. A GPS is a
computerized system that gives directions to any place you want to go. The directions
are displayed on a small screen or can be “read” to you by the computer. But in the
future, the GPS will be able to give you much more information. It can show you a map,
with different colors for different traffic conditions. Areas in red would mean traffic

Verbal section
jams, purple would mean road construction, and blue would mean clear traveling. In
addition, if you want to stop for a quick cup of coffee and a donut, you could ask your
in-car computer. It would tell you what restaurants are on your way, which ones have
drive-through service, and which ones have the shortest lines.
In the future, car computers will be able to understand what you say, using voice-
recognition software. You can say, “Call Frank Smith,” and your computer will dial
his number and connect you. You can say, “Read my e-mail,” and it will read your
messages to you. And you will be able to dictate your replies and send them, while
driving and watching the road. You can ask for directions, ask to change radio stations,
or ask to change the temperature in the car.

Sentence
One of the most exciting systems being tested today is the “smart way.” A smart
way is a special lane of a highway for commuters. All cars in the smart way lane are
controlled by a federal traffic computer. Cars are connected via the Internet. Cars are
very close together, but are all traveling at the same speed. On the smart way, cars

relationships
can go up to 100 miles per hour. Drivers will not have to steer or control their speed on
the smart way. Their car will be on “autopilot,” so drivers can sit back and relax. It is Analogy
hard to imagine some of these changes in the future, but they are already being tested
and developed. Someday your commute to work may be a pleasure!
