Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University weighted score calculator
Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University applies one formula, published in its 1447 AH admission guide: weighted score = (cumulative high school percentage × 0.30) + (GAT score × 0.30) + (SAAT score × 0.40). The guide states the calculation explicitly with its decimal multipliers rather than percentages alone.
Calculator
Formula used: 30% High school GPA (%) + 30% GAT (General Aptitude Test) + 40% SAAT (Achievement test)
Optional — fill it to get the GAT score you need.

Publishing the decimal multipliers outright (0.30, 0.30, 0.40) is a practical advantage: you can verify your own arithmetic step by step against any calculator, with no wording left to interpret. Most universities give percentages only and leave the reader to infer how they combine.
What this means for you
Once you know the GAT score PSAU's formula demands, the number stops being abstract: it becomes a gap you can measure and close. Start by finding out where you actually stand.

Frequently asked questions
What is PSAU's weighted score formula?
Per the admission guide: weighted score = (cumulative high school percentage × 0.30) + (GAT score × 0.30) + (SAAT score × 0.40) — that is 30% for the GPA, 30% for the GAT and 40% for the SAAT.
Does PSAU use more than one formula by track?
The 1447 AH admission guide presents a single formula for ranking applicants, weighted 30/30/40, with no announced branching by track or gender in the text of the formula itself.
On what basis are PSAU applicants ranked?
The guide states that admission aims to attract high achievers, and that applicants are ranked against one another on the weighted score computed by the published formula.
Can I check my PSAU calculation by hand?
Yes, and the published decimal multipliers make it straightforward: multiply each score by its multiplier (0.30, 0.30 and 0.40) and sum the three products. The calculator above does exactly this and shows each component's share so you can compare.
The SAAT is heaviest in PSAU's formula — how do I use that?
At a 0.40 multiplier the SAAT gives the highest return per mark: improving it by ten points lifts your score by four full points, against three points for the same improvement on the GAT or the GPA.
Does the weighted score alone determine my PSAU admission?
The score fixes your position in the ranking, but actual admission depends on the seats available in the specialisation and on the number and strength of applicants that year — factors that shift annually and are not announced in advance.
What GAT score do I need for a given PSAU weighted score?
Enter your GPA, SAAT and target in the tool above. At a 0.30 GAT multiplier, each point of final score needs roughly three and a third GAT points.
