Analytical Skills (المهارات التحليلية) for the GAT (KSA) Exam — New York candidates
10% of the GAT (KSA) test plan. Multi-step problem solving, data sufficiency, and complex reasoning tasks in the GAT. Calibrated for New Yorker candidates.
If you have already studied this content from a textbook, you know the material. The question this page answers is whether you can apply it under exam conditions. Analytical Skills (المهارات التحليلية) sits at roughly 10% of the General Aptitude Test — Saudi Arabia content distribution — Analytical skill questions in the GAT require candidates to integrate multiple pieces of information, identify relevant vs irrelevant data, and solve complex multi-step problems. These higher-order questions differentiate top performers from average scorers and are heavily weighted in top-programme admissions. Pass rates for the GAT (KSA) are published annually by the awarding body and vary by cohort and locale. For New York candidates preparing for GAT (KSA), the calibration of study to local context matters: New York is a top-3 state for NCLEX-RN, MCAT, and GRE candidates. NY State Education Department (NYSED) handles RN licensure differently from compact states.
Common failure modes
These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.
- !Rushing through multi-step problems and making arithmetic errors in the early steps
- !Not identifying which information is relevant to the question and using all given data instead
- !Not checking whether the answer is reasonable in context (sanity check)
Study tips
- 1For multi-step problems, write out each step sequentially — never skip steps in the working.
- 2Practice "what information is needed" analysis before solving: identify what the question asks and what data is required.
- 3After solving, perform a sanity check: does the answer make sense in the context of the problem?
- 4For NCLEX-RN: NYSED is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a NY licence does not transfer to other states without endorsement. Consider this if you plan to work in NJ/CT after graduating.
- 5For MCAT: most NY medical schools (Columbia, Cornell, Mount Sinai, NYU) cap MCAT scores accepted at 3 years old — verify your target schools' exact policy.
- 6For CDL: NY DMV requires a 14-day permit-holding period before scheduling the CDL skills test; budget this gap into your training schedule.
Sample GAT (KSA) Analytical Skills (المهارات التحليلية) questions
These sample items mirror the format and difficulty of real GAT (KSA) questions. Practice with thousands more on the free Koydo question bank.

A factory produces 200 units per day. Due to an upgrade, production increased by 15%. How many units does it now produce per day?
- A215
- B225
- C230Correct
- D220
Why this answer?
New production = 200 + (15% × 200) = 200 + 30 = 230 units per day. 15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30. Add the increase to the original: 200 + 30 = 230.
