What is the Qiyas GAT?
The General Aptitude Test (اختبار القدرات العامة, "Qudurat"), administered by Saudi Arabia's Education & Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC/Qiyas), is the standardized exam every Saudi high-school student takes for university admission. It tests quantitative and verbal reasoning, and typically counts for around 30–50% of a student's weighted admission score — often the single deciding factor between a student and their target major.
Hundreds of thousands of students take it each year, and most prepare with question banks and recorded courses that show the right answer but never diagnose the student's own reasoning.
How Nabras works
1 · Diagnose. A 5-minute adaptive diagnostic pinpoints exactly which of the 13 topic areas are costing you points.
2 · Follow your plan. Nabras builds a personalized daily study plan — what to practice, in what order, for how long — and tracks whether you're on pace for your target score.
3 · Understand your mistakes. After every wrong answer, tap "لماذا أخطأت؟" (Why did I get it wrong?) and an AI tutor analyzes your specific choice — not a generic solution, but the reasoning trap you personally fell into.
4 · Reach your goal. Spaced repetition resurfaces your past mistakes at the right intervals, and the goal-reaching guarantee keeps the plan honest: the platform commits to getting you to your target.
The signature feature, in action
Every competitor shows the correct answer. Nabras explains your error. Here's a real example (Arabic, as students see it):
NABRAS AI — WRONG-ANSWER EXPLANATION
إذا كان ٣س + ٦ = ٢١، فما قيمة س + ٢ ؟
إجابتك: ٥ ✗
وقعت في الفخ الكلاسيكي: حللت س = ٥ صحيحاً، ثم توقفت! السؤال يطلب «س + ٢» وليس «س». لاحظ أن ٥ كانت ضمن الخيارات عمداً لاصطياد من يتعجّل. الإجابة: ٥ + ٢ = ٧. عوّد نفسك: قبل التظليل، ارجع لصيغة المطلوب.
Translation: "You fell into the classic trap: you correctly solved x = 5, then stopped! The question asks for x + 2, not x. Note that 5 was deliberately among the choices to catch rushers. Answer: 5 + 2 = 7. Build the habit: before marking, re-read what's asked."
