Teachers' Professional License – Specialized Test: Physics

88 multiple-choice questions with four options, in 120 minutes (two hours). The test is in Arabic, and 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 589 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.

18 standards in eight domains, according to the candidate guide: Mechanics and Fluids 22%, Electrostatics, Current Electricity and Magnetism 22%, Modern and Nuclear Physics 14%, Waves and Light 12%, Heat, Properties of Matter and Thermodynamics 10%, Physics Teaching Strategies and Assessment 8%, Practical Work and Mathematical and Statistical Skills 6%, and Nature and History of Physics and Links to Other Sciences 6%.

Calculators are not allowed in the subject tests, and the numbers in the guide's questions are chosen to be solved on paper. The guide's example about a particle with acceleration a(t) = 6t² and initial speed 4 m/s takes three steps: integrate the acceleration, add the initial speed, then substitute t = 3 s to get 58 m/s. Practise multiplying, dividing, powers of ten and simple integration without a calculator from day one.

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 129 past questions, 37 of them from the 1446 AH recall set, each reviewed and every option explained. But recall sets are not spread across the domains the way the test is: 30 of them are on the nature and history of physics (6% of the test) and only 8 on electricity and magnetism (22%). So practise every domain by its weight, not the recall sets alone.

Science 2 is the test for intermediate school science teachers, and physics is one of its domains at 25%. The Physics test is all physics: eight domains and 18 standards, with mechanics and electricity alone making up 44%. The Ministry of Education's guide to subjects for teaching jobs (1445 AH, p. 19) places physics in secondary school.

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 physics score does not lift your level above your General Educational score.

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.

No. Physics has one guide and one standards document, unlike mathematics and science, which have two levels. The Ministry of Education's guide to specialisations for teaching posts (1445 AH, p. 19) places physics in the secondary stage and requires a professional license in physics for it.

Mechanics and fluids (22%) and electricity and magnetism (22%) together are 44% of the test, so give each two weeks of our eight-week plan. Start with the equations behind the problems (motion, Newton's laws and energy, then Coulomb's law, Ohm's law, the magnetic force and induction), solve each problem on paper first, then read the explanation of every option to see the common mistake behind the wrong ones.

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".
