Guide to the SCFHS Health Administration Arabic Exam

Exam format

The linked 2024 SCFHS blueprint lists 150 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours and a pass mark of 60%; check SCFHS for later changes.

What to review

Study health systems, human resources, financing and health insurance, general management, health information systems, quality management and patient safety, and the Saudi model of care.

Study sequence

Identify weaker topics in each area. For management scenarios, connect the decision to its objective, available resources and monitoring measure. Check current Saudi legal texts before memorizing a number or exception. Review the six care systems and transitions between levels of care separately.

Selecting the pathway

This guide follows the Arabic Health Administration Specialist blueprint. SCFHS also lists an English pathway with a different blueprint; check the exam name on your booking. This examination is separate from CPHQ.

Domain allocation

The published 2024 Arabic blueprint lists seven domain weights of 25%, 20%, 10%, 25%, 10%, 10% and 5%. These add up to 105%, although its total row says 100%. Our mock exams use a proportional practice allocation of 150 questions: 36, 29, 14, 36, 14, 14 and 7 in domain order. This is our practice allocation, not an SCFHS-approved correction or a guarantee of your exam’s question distribution.
