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 461 explained questions across 5 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.

8 standards in five domains, according to the candidate guide: fiqh and conduct 28%, creed 23%, the Qur'an and its sciences 21%, the Sunnah and its sciences 18%, and teaching the Islamic sciences 10%. That is about 25 questions on fiqh and conduct and 20 on creed out of 88.

Islamic Education 1 is for primary-school teachers (5 domains and 8 standards), and Islamic Education 2 is for intermediate and secondary teachers (8 domains and 17 standards). Each is a separate test with its own guide, standards and weights. Level 1 has no usul al-fiqh, no fiqh of transactions, family law, inheritance or crimes, and no sects or modern ideologies, and it asks you to know the last tenth of the Qur'an by heart.

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 first standard starts with knowing the last tenth of the Qur'an by heart, and one sample question in ETEC's guide asks for the verse that follows the opening of Surat al-Muddaththir. It also covers the rules of non-voweled nun, tanwin and mim, the types and lengths of madd, the articulation points and qualities of letters, the rules of isti'adhah and basmalah, and telling obvious from subtle recitation errors.

The domain has two standards: the rulings of purification, prayer, zakat, fasting and Hajj, then character, etiquette, daily adhkar and the rulings on food, clothing, 'awrah and hijab. Most questions in ETEC's guide here are scenarios: how many obligatory and sunnah acts a description of wudu contains, how many pillars, obligatory acts and sunnahs a description of prayer contains, who owes zakat, who must make up a fast. So practise applying the ruling to the situation, not only memorising definitions.

Two standards (6.35.7 and 6.35.8): applying modern approaches, such as diagnostic teaching in Qur'an, concept maps in fiqh and hands-on training in wudu, prayer and the Hajj rites, and respecting what is particular to each branch and the Prophet's own teaching methods. The questions are about primary pupils; one sample in the guide says teaching at this stage should reduce abstract ideas.

The question bank here is all practice questions written on the indicators of ETEC's eight standards, each reviewed, every option explained and its evidence given. The bank follows the domain weights in ETEC's guide, so you practise fiqh and creed in proportion to how much they appear on the test.

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.
