7-How teachers can prepare the students for QAT?
Teachers can prepare the students for QAT by keeping in mind the followings points:

- Punjab Text Books are used as a source to analyze the student learning outcomes, so the rigorous practice of text and exercises of PTB books in classroom will eventually lead to the better results in QAT.
- All the papers are developed on the pattern of model papers, so by practicing the same pattern in classroom will help them in actual QAT.
- The supplementary syllabus is also another important document developed by ADU by keeping in view the month in which QAT will be conducted. It clearly defines the percentage of syllabus which will be included in QAT. Teachers must have a copy of this syllabus so that they can prepare the students accordingly.
- QAT papers are developed on students learning outcomes (SLO). So while teaching in the classroom teachers must focus on the conceptual knowledge rather than teaching only the content.
