Taibah University weighted score calculator
Taibah University ranks applicants by a triple weighted score across every specialisation: 30% high school GPA, 30% GAT and 40% SAAT. One formula covers male and female applicants and all colleges, so you do not need to know your track or college before calculating your score — a considerable simplification next to universities that split formulas by track and gender.

A simple formula does not mean easy admission. When one equation applies to everyone, the entire competition concentrates into a single number, and the gap between admitted and rejected usually comes down to tenths of a mark on the SAAT — because it is the heaviest component.
What this means for you
Once you know the GAT score Taibah'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 Taibah's triple weighted score?
It is the sum of three weighted components: 30% of the high school GPA, 30% of the GAT and 40% of the SAAT. It is called triple because it counts both tests alongside the GPA, unlike two-part formulas that use only the GPA and the GAT.
Do Taibah's weights change by college?
No. Under the published nomination criteria the same triple weighted score applies across all specialisations, so no college or track inside the university carries its own formula.
Does Taibah's formula differ for male and female applicants?
No. The published criteria state that male and female applicants are ranked by the same triple weighted score, so the weights are identical for both — unlike some universities that separate them.
Why is the lowest accepted score at Taibah sometimes high?
Because a single formula places every applicant on one scale, compressing the ranking into a narrow band and pushing up the cut-off in sought-after specialisations. That cut-off is a result of that year's competition, not a condition announced in advance.
Which component deserves most of my study time for Taibah?
The SAAT, as the heaviest component at forty percent. Each mark there moves your final score more than a mark on the GAT or the GPA — and the GPA is closed once you have graduated in any case.
Can I calculate my Taibah score before knowing my college?
Yes, and that is a practical benefit of a single formula: you can compute your final number immediately from your three results without waiting on a college decision, then use it to order your preferences realistically.
What GAT score do I need for a given weighted score at Taibah?
Enter your GPA, SAAT and target in the tool above. At a 30% GAT weight, each point of final score needs roughly three and a third GAT points — worth knowing before you commit to retaking the test.
