Your Qudurat score: what it means

A Qudurat score isn't a percentage of correct answers, and there's no pass or fail. Here's what your score really tells you, when it arrives and how it feeds into the weighted percentage.

Quick answerThere is no pass or fail. Your score is read as your position among all test takers: 65 is the average, 78+ puts you in the top 10% and 81+ in the top 5%. Don't compare it with your high-school percentage; each has its own scale.

Weighted percentage

Universities usually combine your high-school percentage, Qudurat score and sometimes your Tahsili score into a weighted percentage. Each university sets its own weights, which can differ by college and program, so we don't list fixed weights here. Enter your university's weights:

Weighted percentage: —

If your university doesn't use Tahsili, set its weight to 0.

How to raise your score

  1. Know your version. In the theoretical version three quarters of the test is verbal; in the scientific version about half. See the test guide.
  2. Start with your weakest type. Take the practice test and note which types you missed.
  3. Train the pace. 120 questions in 125 minutes is about a minute each.
  4. Review your mistakes. Follow the study plan.
