1Evaluate the limit: lim (x -> 3) (x^3 - 27) / (2x^2 - 5x - 3).

A.27/7

B.9/5

C.27/5

D.9/7

Explanation: Factoring the numerator gives (x - 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9). Factoring the denominator yields (x - 3)(2x + 1). Canceling the common factor (x - 3) gives lim (x -> 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9) / (2x + 1) = (9 + 9 + 9) / (6 + 1) = 27/7.

2Evaluate the trigonometric limit: lim (x -> 0) [1 - cos(6x)] / [x * sin(2x)].

A.3

B.6

C.9

D.18

Explanation: Using 1 - cos(6x) = 2*sin^2(3x), rewrite the expression as [2 * sin^2(3x)] / [x * sin(2x)] = 2 * [sin(3x)/(3x)]^2 * 9x^2 / [x * (sin(2x)/(2x)) * 2x] = 2 * (1)^2 * 9 / (2 * 1) = 9. Alternatively, applying L'Hopital's rule twice yields 36 / 4 = 9.

3If f(x) = ln(sqrt((1 + sin(x)) / (1 - sin(x)))) for x in (0, pi/2), what is f'(x)?

A.tan(x)

B.sec(x)

C.csc(x)

D.sec(x)*tan(x)

Explanation: Rewrite f(x) using logarithmic properties: f(x) = (1/2) * [ln(1 + sin(x)) - ln(1 - sin(x))]. Differentiating yields f'(x) = (1/2) * [cos(x)/(1 + sin(x)) - (-cos(x))/(1 - sin(x))] = (cos(x)/2) * [(1 - sin(x) + 1 + sin(x)) / (1 - sin^2(x))] = (cos(x)/2) * [2 / cos^2(x)] = 1 / cos(x) = sec(x).

4A curve is defined implicitly by x^3 + y^3 = 6xy. What is the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (3, 3)?

A.1

B.-1

C.0

D.2

Explanation: Differentiating both sides with respect to x gives 3x^2 + 3y^2 * y' = 6y + 6x * y'. Dividing by 3 yields x^2 + y^2 * y' = 2y + 2x * y'. Solving for y' gives y' = (2y - x^2) / (y^2 - 2x). Substituting (3, 3) gives y' = (2*3 - 3^2) / (3^2 - 2*3) = (6 - 9) / (9 - 6) = -3 / 3 = -1.

5A spherical balloon is being inflated such that its volume increases at a constant rate of 36*pi cm^3/s. At what rate is the radius increasing when the radius is 3 cm?

A.0.5 cm/s

B.1 cm/s

C.2 cm/s

D.3 cm/s

Explanation: The volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)*pi*r^3. Differentiating with respect to time gives dV/dt = 4*pi*r^2 * (dr/dt). Given dV/dt = 36*pi and r = 3 cm: 36*pi = 4*pi*(3^2) * (dr/dt) = 36*pi * (dr/dt). Therefore, dr/dt = 1 cm/s.

6An open-top rectangular container with a square base of side length x cm and height h cm is constructed from 192 cm^2 of sheet metal. What value of x maximizes the volume of the container?

A.4 cm

B.6 cm

C.8 cm

D.12 cm

Explanation: The surface area of an open-top box is S = x^2 + 4xh = 192, so h = (192 - x^2) / (4x). Volume V = x^2 * h = 48x - (1/4)*x^3. Setting V'(x) = 48 - (3/4)*x^2 = 0 gives (3/4)*x^2 = 48, so x^2 = 64, which gives x = 8 cm.

7For the function f(x) = x^4 - 4x^3 + 18, on which interval is the graph of f(x) concave downward?

A.(-infinity, 0)

B.(0, 2)

C.(2, infinity)

D.(0, 3)

Explanation: First derivative: f'(x) = 4x^3 - 12x^2. Second derivative: f''(x) = 12x^2 - 24x = 12x(x - 2). For concave downward behavior, f''(x) < 0, which occurs when 12x(x - 2) < 0, giving the interval (0, 2).

8Consider f(x) = x^3 - 3x on the closed interval [0, 3]. Find the value of c in (0, 3) that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.

A.1

B.sqrt(3)

C.2

D.sqrt(6)

Explanation: By the Mean Value Theorem, f'(c) = [f(3) - f(0)] / (3 - 0). Here f(3) = 27 - 9 = 18 and f(0) = 0, so f'(c) = 18 / 3 = 6. Since f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3, we set 3c^2 - 3 = 6, which yields 3c^2 = 9, so c^2 = 3, giving c = sqrt(3) in (0, 3).

9What is the equation of the normal line to the curve y = e^(2x) - 3x at the point where x = 0?

A.y = -x + 1

B.y = x + 1

C.y = x - 1

D.y = 2x + 1

Explanation: At x = 0, y = e^0 - 0 = 1, so the point is (0, 1). The derivative is y' = 2*e^(2x) - 3. At x = 0, y'(0) = 2 - 3 = -1, which is the slope of the tangent line. The normal slope is m_n = -1 / (-1) = 1. The normal line equation is y - 1 = 1*(x - 0), giving y = x + 1.

10If y = x^2 * sin(x), what is the value of the third derivative y'''(0)?

A.0

B.2

C.6

D.-6

Explanation: Applying Leibniz's rule for the product of two functions: (u*v)''' = u'''*v + 3*u''*v' + 3*u'*v'' + u*v'''. For u = x^2, u' = 2x, u'' = 2, and u''' = 0. For v = sin(x), v' = cos(x), v'' = -sin(x), v''' = -cos(x). Evaluating at x = 0: only the 3*u''*v' term survives, yielding 3*(2)*cos(0) = 6*(1) = 6.

About the Tawjihi Science, Technology & Engineering Field Exam

The General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi) Science, Technology and Engineering Field (حقل العلوم والتكنولوجيا والهندسة) is Jordan's premier pre-university qualification for students entering engineering, computing, artificial intelligence, architecture, and physical science disciplines. Under the Education Council reforms effective 2026/2027, the previously separate Engineering Field (11,695 candidates in 2026) and Science & Technology Field (16,347 candidates in 2026) were unified into a single rigorous academic pathway. Grade 12 candidates sit four ministerial examinations: Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Advanced English, and one specialized science elective (Chemistry, Biology, or Earth and Environmental Sciences). Important Disclosure: The official examination is delivered in Arabic (with English examined as Advanced English). This practice question bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation authored by OpenExamPrep for conceptual STEM reinforcement and international university preparation — it is not an official translation, not an approved or endorsed Ministry of Education resource, and not a simulation of the exam's native Arabic testing environment.

Exam sponsor: Examinations and Tests Directorate, Jordan Ministry of Education. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Under Jordan's reformed two-year secondary education model, whose first cohort graduated in the 2026 sitting and which the Education Council reduced to four academic fields from 2026/2027, the cumulative Tawjihi score comprises Grade 11 common ministerial subjects (accounting for 30%) and Grade 12 field-specific ministerial examinations (accounting for 70%). The merged Science, Technology & Engineering Field (حقل العلوم والتكنولوجيا والهندسة) requires four ministerial Grade 12 subjects: Mathematics (allowed up to 3 hours), Physics, Advanced English, and one science elective chosen from Chemistry, Biology, or Earth and Environmental Sciences. Each ministerial examination paper contains 50 multiple-choice questions administered electronically. The four Grade 12 ministerial subjects are equally weighted, each carrying 17.5% of the final average (a maximum mark of 175 out of 1000); the Ministry does not publish a differential weighting between them, so the subject emphasis of this practice bank is an OpenExamPrep study-design choice rather than an official blueprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tawjihi Science, Technology & Engineering Field (حقل العلوم والتكنولوجيا والهندسة)?

Effective 2026/2027, Jordan's Education Council consolidated the academic track into four fields, merging the previously separate Engineering Field (الحقل الهندسي) and Science & Technology Field (حقل العلوم والتكنولوجيا) into a single unified Science, Technology & Engineering Field. It serves as the prerequisite pathway for university admissions into all engineering disciplines, computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, architecture, and the physical sciences.

What subjects are examined in Grade 12 for this field, and what is the paper format?

Grade 12 candidates sit four ministerial examinations: Advanced Mathematics (الرياضيات), Physics (الفيزياء), Advanced English (اللغة الإنجليزية - متقدم), and one science elective chosen from Chemistry (الكيمياء), Biology (العلوم الحياتية), or Earth and Environmental Sciences (علوم الأرض والبيئة). Each ministerial examination consists of 50 multiple-choice questions administered electronically. Mathematics is allotted up to 3 hours, while other subjects are allotted 2 to 2.5 hours.

How is the overall Tawjihi score calculated under the two-year secondary reform?

Under Jordan's two-year secondary structure, common ministerial examinations completed at the end of Grade 11 account for 30% of the final cumulative average. The four specialized field examinations taken at the end of Grade 12 account for the remaining 70% of the total Tawjihi average, which determines competitive admission through the Unified Admission Coordination Unit.

Why did the Ministry merge Engineering with Science & Technology, and what happened to Tawjihi IT?

In the 2026 sitting, 11,695 students took the Engineering Field and 16,347 took the Science & Technology Field. Because both groups shared core requirements in advanced mathematics, physics, and computing progression routes, the Education Council streamlined the academic structure into four fields starting 2026/2027. The old standalone Information Management stream was abolished years earlier; academic computing, software engineering, and AI degree progression are now fully integrated into this merged Science, Technology & Engineering Field.

Are scientific calculators permitted during the Tawjihi Mathematics and Physics exams?

Yes. The Jordan Ministry of Education provides or approves standard, non-programmable scientific calculators for ministerial examinations in quantitative subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Programmable, graphing, and internet-connected devices are strictly prohibited in examination halls.

In what language is the official examination administered, and how should this English practice bank be used?

The official Jordan Tawjihi examination is administered entirely in Arabic, with the exception of the Advanced English examination. This practice question bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation created by OpenExamPrep for conceptual STEM reinforcement and international study preparation. It is not an official translation, not endorsed or approved by the Jordan Ministry of Education, and not an exact simulation of the Arabic exam environment.
