Announcing the results requires a period of no less than one month, during which the test is reviewed by “Qiyas”, then sorted and the criteria are applied to ensure fair distribution of accepted students, according to the programs available to them, by the “National Program for Discovering the Gifted”. The result is inquired about on the “Project Page” through the Civil Registry after the student receives a text message informing them of the results.
