A Hint:The National Center for Measurements and Assessment "Qias" assumes one of the most vital missions in relation to forming the picture of the scientific and Academic future of KSA, through preparing and performing the measurement tests for knowledge and skills in different fields, especially in the field of university acceptance.

The Story
Lately, the persons working for the National Center for Measurements and Assessment "Qias" that the lofty mission needs lofty tools and means. Thus, when the "Qias" center depended on "Yakeen, this gave more than the indication at the same time.
Mr. Fahd Al-Sha'lan spoke very clearly about the relation of the Yakeen service with the National Center for Measurements and Assessment "Qias" very clearly and with the maximum transparency, saying: Qias would have never been able to assume its responsibilities except for the existence of a comprehensive service that plays the role of the "Yakeen" service, regardless of the name. We built our conviction on a comprehensive study and many consultations that warned us from the problems that might hinder the center from achieving its centers, if it started its role in the absence of a comprehensive service to check the data of the persons being tested and verify its correctness.
Mr. Fahd Abdu—Rahman Al-Sha'laan, the Financial and Administrative manager in "Qias", and he confirms that the Yakeen service was able, in a semi-complete way, to prevent all the possibilities of errors in the data of those who apply for the tests, either through intentional forging and falsification, or through un-intentional errors in registering data, especially in relation to the Civil Statistics number which is considered the main factor in accepting students in universities, according to what is registered in the results that "Qias" receives.
Mr. Al-Sha'laan speaks in numbers saying: The amount of intentional and non-intentional errors in the data of the applicants reaches 2% of 350.000 tests that the center makes yearly. And the Yakeen service has taken the responsibility, since we participated in it, to discover and avoid all these cases. Moreover, the service made the students avoid any negative impact of such errors, especially losing the opportunity to be accepted in universities when the opportunity goes to someone else who does not deserve it. This is against the main function of the center, which is based on achieving the concept of equality of opportunities.
Mr. Al-Sha'laan continues, saying: We had some cases where the documents of some applicants were regular. However, the "Yakeen" service rejected then. Every time, after revision with respective authorities, we discover that there is some error in registering the data, and that the decision of Yakeen was more accurate. Through such situations, we had greater confidence in this service, Especially that we see that Al-Elm company for Information Security is always keen on developing its services, so we reached the "Yakeen" online service that gives us the opportunity to get correct results from data within seconds from the time data is sent.
