Assessment times will be pre-booked and will require a non-refundable application fee of 100 Qatari riyals or equivalent to your local currency at the time of payment (payable via bank transfer). For those that applied for the Gifted and Talented programme, additional assessments will also be pre-booked and will require a non-refundable fee between QAR 250 to QAR 400. These students will be assessed in the following test that would provide a well-rounded approach to identifying gifted students. The combination covers both cognitive reasoning and academic achievement, ensuring the capture of different types of giftedness:
CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) – Identifies reasoning abilities across verbal, non-verbal, quantitative, and spatial domains for gifted and talented placement.
NNAT3 (Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test) – Assesses nonverbal reasoning and problem-solving skills, particularly effective for diverse student populations.
NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) – Measures and tracks academic performance in key subjects like math and reading to identify academic growth and potential.
