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.

They are separate specialties, each with its own ETEC guide and standards. The Kindergarten test is for teachers at the kindergarten stage before first grade and measures 20 standards on child growth and learning, the kindergarten environment, child health and safety, and partnership with families. The Early Grades test is for teachers of grades one to three. This bank is for the Kindergarten test.

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.

20 standards in eight domains, according to the candidate guide: growth and learning 26%, interaction and guidance 14%, teaching and learning 13%, learning environment 13%, child health and safety 10%, then assessment, partnership with family and community, and professional development at 8% each.

Growth and learning at 26%, about 23 of the 88 questions. It has six standards: children's development and needs, emotional and social development, psychomotor development, language development, cognitive development, and early detection of developmental delay. Starting there covers about a quarter of the test.

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.

Most of ETEC's sample questions are kindergarten situations: a teacher notices a child behind with scissors, or children lose focus during circle time, and you choose the best response. The test also has direct knowledge questions, such as the right length of circle time for a four-year-old, or Piaget's stages.

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".
