NAT – National Aptitude Test Pakistan
What is NAT?: National Aptitude Test (NAT™) is for NTS associated universities/Degree Award Institutes (DAIs). The candidates will clear in a mere single test and will be able for admission to all universities in the concerned subject group.
It is mandatory for the candidates to apply for admissions in the universities as per their concerned announcements along with the duplicate of the NTS Result card. The NTS result will be reasonable for 1 year.
Validity of NAT study by?: Dr. Douglas Trimble, Director of Assessment and Institutional Research Forman Christian College University.
If we do comparison of NAT with the SAT (in the USA), we observe that it charges very well at Forman Christian College: it relates .36 with first year GPA (FYGPA), which is the same as the SAT (.35). It does appear to have good predictive validity instead of the lack of methodical predictive validity analysis of the NAT™.
