Where other sources differ
- Some parents think a student can resit the following year in the other language. Mawhiba says each student gets one attempt per level, whatever the test language.
- The score is not just the number of correct answers: Mawhiba says scoring takes each question's difficulty into account, and the weighted score differs between grades within the same level.
How to register
- Go to ETEC's Sadeed platform (sadeed.etec.gov.sa), create an account or sign in, and complete the profile.
- Choose the "Mawhiba Multiple Mental Abilities Test" from the list of tests, then pick a test centre and date.
- Accept the terms and pay SAR 200 for self-nomination. Students with supported (school) nomination pay nothing, but must confirm attendance and choose a centre and date before the deadline, or the registration is cancelled.
- Register the student in their actual school grade: Level 2 is for grade 6 (primary) and grades 1 and 2 (intermediate). Sitting the test in the wrong grade cancels the score.
- The result appears in the student's record on the Mawhiba website when announced, and the score stays valid until the student moves up to the next level.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are in Mawhiba Level 2 and how long is it?
96 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, for students in grade 6 (primary) and grades 1 and 2 (intermediate). The test is computer-based at test centres, in Arabic or English as you choose at registration. Our full mock exams have the same number of questions and time.
Can I try Mawhiba Level 2 questions for free?
Yes. Free questions: a 10-question diagnostic test covering the main units, no sign-up; at the end you get your score and your weakest units. The free practice test page lists the same questions with answers and an explanation for every option. The rest of the questions and the full mock exams come with a pass from SAR 26.
What makes this Mawhiba Level 2 question bank different?
Question bank: full mock exams of 96 questions in 120 minutes, like the real test with a result for every unit, plus 511 explained questions across 4 units, every option explained, a review of your mistakes, and two ways to practise: see the answer right away, or sit a full timed mock. Every question is reviewed and referenced, ready to practise on your phone. Try the free questions and read the explanations before buying full access.
What does the Mawhiba test measure?
Four domains, according to Mawhiba: verbal reasoning and reading comprehension, mathematical and spatial reasoning, scientific and mechanical reasoning, and mental flexibility (producing varied ideas and changing how you approach a problem). Our questions are split evenly across the four domains, and your score is broken down by domain.
What score does my child need?
There is no pass mark. The score runs from 1000 to 2000, and each Mawhiba program sets its own qualifying score on its page. The weighted score is calculated differently for each grade within the level, and qualifying students are classed as exceptionally gifted, gifted or promising.
Can my child resit the test?
No. Each student gets one attempt per level, even in the other language. Sitting the test in a grade other than the student's actual grade cancels the score. If your child does not reach the score needed, they can sit the next level or take part in Mawhiba's competitions.
When are registration and the test, and what does it cost?
According to the 17th-year timeline: registration runs from 1 October to 28 December 2026 on the Sadeed platform, the test runs from 8 November to 30 December 2026, and results come out on the Mawhiba website on 10 February 2027. The fee is SAR 200 for self-nomination; supported (school) nominations are exempt.
Is the mock exam score here an official score?
No. This is an independent website, not affiliated with Mawhiba, ETEC or any government body, and its results are for practice only. Your score here is the share of our questions answered correctly, split by the four domains, so you can see where your child loses marks. The official 1000–2000 score is calculated by the test organisers in a way that accounts for each question's difficulty and the student's grade.
Is this an official site, and how do I pay?
It is an independent site, not part of Qiyas or any government body, and every question is reviewed before it is published. You pay once, with no automatic renewal, through Waffo Pancake (the merchant of record) by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and your statement shows "WAFFO". If you were charged twice or the pass did not open, email support@saudiexams.com.
Study material sample: Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension
Summary
Mawhiba defines verbal reasoning as the ability to use language to process the information available, and to apply language rules to what is read in order to infer meanings and reorganise them. Our full mock exam has about 24 of its 96 questions in this domain, a quarter. It has five question types: verbal analogies, sentence completion, contextual error, vocabulary and word classification, and reading comprehension. At Level 2 (grade 6 to grade 8) the words come from written language and include common sayings and idioms, and passages run roughly 120 to 180 words. The questions need one or two steps of inference.
What the exam focuses on
- Verbal analogies: say the relation between the two words in one short sentence ('a pen is a tool for writing'), then find the pair where the same sentence works in the same order.
- Sentence completion: read the whole sentence before looking at the options, and decide from the linking word (so, but, although) whether the missing idea continues or reverses the first part.
- Contextual error: read the full sentence and picture the situation; the wrong word is the one that contradicts the meaning, not the hard or unfamiliar one.
Show 4 more
- Vocabulary: put each option in place of the target word inside the sentence; the one that keeps the meaning unchanged is the answer, even if another word is related to the topic.
- The odd word out: find the quality shared by at least three words, then pick the one that falls outside it, and check that the grouping rests on one clear basis.
- Reading comprehension: read the question first so you know what to look for, then read the passage, and go back to the sentence that supports your answer before choosing.
- Inference questions: the answer follows from the passage without being written word for word; choose what the text directly supports, not what seems reasonable from your own knowledge.
Common traps
- Picking a pair from the same topic with a different relation: 'doctor : hospital' and 'doctor : medicine' are both about medicine, but only the first is a job and its workplace.
- Reversing the order of the pair: if the relation is part : whole, a pair written whole : part is wrong even when the two words are right.
- Ignoring the linking word: 'although the weather was cold' needs an opposite idea, and students fall for the option that agrees with the cold.
Show 5 more
- Choosing the word that sounds nicest rather than the one the meaning needs; try the option in the sentence and reread the whole thing.
- In odd-word-out: assuming a surface feature (like the number of letters) is the basis, when the grouping is about meaning.
- An answer that is true in real life but not in the passage: an option that is generally correct but unsupported by the text is not the answer.
- An option that copies a phrase from the passage but changes or exaggerates the meaning with words like 'always', 'all' and 'no one'.
- Choosing a title that covers only one paragraph; the best title covers the whole passage, and the main idea is never a minor detail.

How many of the 96 questions in our full mock exam are in the verbal domain?
About 24, a quarter of the exam.
What are the five question types in the verbal domain?
Verbal analogies, sentence completion, contextual error, vocabulary and word classification, and reading comprehension.
How do you solve a verbal analogy?
Build a sentence linking the two words and test each pair with it, in the same order.
What is the relation in 'pen : writing'?
A tool and its use. 'Scissors : cutting' matches it.
What does the linking word 'although' signal?
A contrast between the two parts of the sentence, so the blank needs an opposite idea.
What is a contextual error?
A word that contradicts the meaning of the sentence; the error is in meaning, not in spelling or grammar.
How do you choose the right synonym?
Put it into the sentence; if the meaning stays the same, it is the answer.
What is the first step in an odd-word-out question?
Find a quality that groups at least three words, then pick the one outside it.
