Registering for the Qudrat Test on Sadeed: Every Step

Registration for the National Center for Assessment's tests, booking their appointments and checking their results have moved to Sadeed, the unified platform of the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC). The test itself has not changed: it is still the General Aptitude Test (Qudrat) with its quantitative and verbal sections. What changed is where you register and follow your appointment and result.

The Sadeed link

The official platform is at sadeed.etec.gov.sa. Always check that the address ends in gov.sa before you enter any details or pay any fee: lookalike links spread during registration season.

1. Create a Sadeed account

1. Open the platform and choose "Register now" under "Don't have an account?".
2. Pick the account type that fits you (usually inside Saudi Arabia).
3. Sign up through Nafath by entering your ID or Iqama number and approving the request in the Nafath app, or with your ID number and date of birth.
4. Complete your personal and study details, then activate the account from the link sent to your email.

Your study details decide which tests you see, so if the Aptitude Test does not appear, check that your profile is complete first.

2. Book the General Aptitude Test

1. From "Services", open the Tests card and choose test registration.
2. Choose the General Aptitude Test, then its type: digital (computer-based) or paper.
3. Read the instructions and accept the terms.
4. Choose the city, date, centre and time that suit you.
5. Review your details, confirm the booking, then pay the fee.

Your booking then appears under "My appointments", where you can change or cancel it within the window ETEC allows.

Ways to pay

• Mada or a credit card.
• Apple Pay on supported devices.
• A SADAD bill issued to the National Center for Assessment, paid from your bank's app.

Important: a booking is confirmed only once it is paid, and unpaid bookings are cancelled automatically when the deadline passes. If you paid and the booking is not confirmed, wait up to 24 hours before contacting support.

Digital or paper?

According to ETEC's announcement, the digital test is open to second- and third-year secondary students all year, and the paper test is for third-year students in set periods. Each student has a limited number of attempts across both types, so plan your first attempt after enough practice, not before it.

Registration dates, fees and the number of attempts are announced by ETEC each cycle, so confirm them on Sadeed before you book.

Test day and your result

• Bring proof of identity: national ID, Iqama or passport. Digital ID from Tawakkalna or Absher is accepted at digital test centres.
• Digital test results usually appear within a few working days, in your Sadeed account.
• For questions: the unified number 19925, or ETEC's care account EtecCare on X.

Before you book: know your level

The best time to book is when you know where you stand. The free level test on Abo Omran takes about twenty minutes of quantitative and verbal questions and shows your starting level and the distance to the score you want, so you can pick a date that gives you enough time to get there.

Abo Omran is an independent training platform and is not affiliated with ETEC. The steps above are a guide and Sadeed's screens may change; the official platform is always the reference.
