Teachers' Professional License – Subject Test: Special Education (Learning Disabilities)

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 476 explained questions across 6 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.

Two parts, according to the candidate guide: a general part shared by every special education track, worth 47%, and a part for your own track, worth 53%. This page has the general part with its three domains (general principles 25%, planning instruction 15%, motivating and supporting learning 7%) and the learning disabilities track with its three domains (20%, 17% and 16%): 18 standards in six domains.

General Principles of Special Education at 25%, about 22 of the 88 questions. It has four standards: philosophy, concepts and policies; causes of disability and development; assessment and diagnosis; and early intervention. It is shared by every special education track, so starting there covers a quarter of the test.

Yes, for the general part only. The general part (47%) is the same for every track, so you can practise it here. The specialised part (53%) differs from track to track, and our questions currently cover only the learning disabilities track from it. The seven tracks are learning disabilities, intellectual disability, autism, hearing impairment, visual impairment, behavioural training and speech training.

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.

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 across the six domains 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.

Mostly situations: a student with a mild delay in expressive language, so which placement suits him; which element an IEP must contain; which role suits the special education teacher in an inclusive setting. These are models from ETEC's guide, so memorising definitions is not enough. After every question we explain each option so you can see why the right one is right and the others are wrong.

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".
