Qualitative Bloos test, is the blood test that give you either positive or negative.So you just know whether you're pregnant or not.

Quantative Beta HCG blood test, is the blood test that shows the exact amount of HCG in your blood even if it's only 1 mlu/ml !

Quantative is more sensative than qualitative and it detects pregnancy at earliet staage where HCG is still low and can be detected by other test.

It's the most sensitive test of all.

I hope this helped somehow.

Good Luck !
