Teachers' Professional License – Subject Test: Arabic Language 2

88 multiple-choice questions with four options, in 120 minutes (two hours). Calculators are not allowed and the test is in Arabic. Our mock exams are the same length.

Yes. Free questions: a 10-question diagnostic test covering the main units, no sign-up; at the end we compare your score with the license levels 50 (Practitioner), 70 (Advanced) and 80 (Expert), tell you how many questions you are short of the next level, and show 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.

Question bank: full mock exams of 88 questions in 120 minutes, like the real test with a result for every unit, plus 482 explained questions across 8 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.

The minimum for a license is 50 (Practitioner Teacher), then 70 for Advanced Teacher and 80 or above for Expert Teacher, under the Professional License Regulations (Article 4). The level uses the lower of your General Educational and subject-specific scores, together with your qualification and years of experience. Scoring is criterion-referenced and wrong answers carry no penalty.

25 standards in eight domains, according to the candidate guide: syntax (nahw) 28%, literature and criticism 17%, teaching Arabic 17%, rhetoric 13%, language skills 11%, morphology (sarf) 6%, linguistics 5%, and prosody and rhyme 3%. Syntax and teaching methods together are 45% of the test.

Arabic 1 is for primary-school teachers (6 domains and 17 standards) and Arabic 2 is for intermediate and secondary school teachers (8 domains and 25 standards). Each is a separate test with its own guide, standards and weights: Arabic 1 groups syntax and morphology in one domain worth 32%, while Arabic 2 separates them (28% and 6%) and adds literature and criticism, rhetoric and prosody. This site has a page for each: "Teacher License – Arabic 1" and "Teacher License – Arabic 2". A lower-primary (early grades) teacher sits neither of them and takes the "Early Grades" license subject instead.

The next sitting of the subject test is expected in late January 2027. The first 1448 AH sitting ran from 18 to 31 October 2026. Watch ETEC's page for when registration opens.

Yes. The question bank has 30 past questions, all from the 1446 AH recall sets, each reviewed and every option explained. But recall sets are not spread across the domains the way the test is: 12 of them are in syntax and none in language skills, although that domain weighs 11%. So practise every domain by its weight, not the recall sets alone.

Yes. Spelling is part of the language skills domain, which is 11% of the test in ETEC's guide. The domain has three parts of similar weight: listening and speaking, analysing and evaluating a reading passage, and writing, spelling, punctuation and writing genres.

Syntax is eight of the 25 standards (6.2.1 to 6.2.8), and four of the ten sample questions in ETEC's guide are grammar questions: declinable vs indeclinable words, secondary case markers, exception, and warning constructions. Start with the first standard, which underpins i'rab, then nominative, accusative and genitive nouns, the imperfect verb, and finally followers, constructions and sentences. Memorising the rule may not be enough because the questions ask for the grammatical status of a word in a sentence or a verse, so parse each example yourself before reading the explanation of the options.

Six standards (6.2.20 to 6.2.25): strategies, approaches and stages of child language development, teaching grammar and morphology, analysing a literary text, teaching listening and speaking, teaching reading, and teaching writing and spelling. These questions ask how you teach, not the rule itself, for example which type of dictation suits a given activity.

No. The Teachers' Professional License needs two tests: the subject-specific test in your own field and the General Educational Test, which is the same for every subject. Each costs SAR 100, and the level uses the lower of the two scores, so a high score in one does not lift your level above your score in the other.

No. Scores on this site are for practice only and are not an official result. This site is independent and is not affiliated with ETEC, Qiyas or any government body. They do show where you'd stand if the test were today: the full mock exam has the real question count and time, and your score is split by part of the exam so you can see where you lose points.

A subject-test result stays valid for five years from the date it is announced. The license itself is valid for five years, and you can apply to renew it in its final year, under the Professional License Regulations.

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.
