About the SAASS Police Academy Exam Exam

The Saad Al-Abdullah Academy for Security Sciences (SAASS) is Kuwait's police training and security education institution, operating under the Ministry of Interior's Sector of Education and Training Affairs. It was established as the Police Academy by Decree No. 200 of 1994 and renamed in 1997. Admission to the Police College, the Women's Police Institute, and the non-commissioned officer institutes is governed by Ministerial Decision No. 1130 of 2004, whose Article 19 requires candidates to pass tests of physical fitness, general culture, aptitude, and psychological attributes. The academy's published registration guide sets out what each test covers: Arabic, English, and computer skills in the aptitude test, and Kuwait's history, borders and governorates, the Constitution, the National Assembly and electoral districts, current world political events, the Ministry of Interior and military ranks, the GCC, state bodies and their competences, citizen and national rights, Kuwaiti leadership figures, and the academy's own founding in the general culture test. This question bank provides 100 independent English-language study questions across those published subject areas.

Exam sponsor: Saad Al-Abdullah Academy for Security Sciences, Ministry of Interior, State of Kuwait. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Applications are submitted through the Sahel government app or the Ministry of Interior website, followed by document verification at the academy. Candidates are then measured for height and weight and given a preliminary medical check, after which they sit the aptitude test (Arabic, English, and computer). Those who pass sit the general culture test and the psychological test, then the full medical examination, then the physical fitness test, and finally the personal interview before the selection committee. Each stage eliminates: scoring under 60% on any single test excludes the candidate from continuing. Where more candidates clear every requirement than there are places, the final selection is made by public draw under Ministerial Decision No. 4/2021, and the Minister of Interior then issues the admission decision.

SAASS Police Academy Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work from the academy's own registration and admission rules guide — it publishes the subject list for each test and is the only authoritative content outline available.

2For the general culture test, cover Kuwait's history, rulers, land and sea borders and governorates; the Constitution, National Assembly and electoral districts; the Ministry of Interior's sectors and military ranks; the GCC; state bodies and their competences; citizen and national rights; Kuwait's leadership figures; and the academy's own founding.

3Do not neglect the computer section of the aptitude test — the published outline covers networks, viruses, information security, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, the Microsoft Office suite, operating systems, storage capacities, file formats, and hardware components.

4Prepare English grammar and reading comprehension deliberately: the published outline lists tenses, active and passive voice, infinitives, negatives and question word order, articles, phrasal verbs, conjunctions, quantifiers, prefixes and suffixes, and conditional sentences.

5Keep up with current world political events; the general culture outline names them explicitly, and recent Kuwaiti developments such as the Amiri Order of 10 May 2024 are fair game.

6Train for the physical fitness test in advance — the guide names abdominal, running, arm, confidence-jump, and free-swimming assessments, and a score below 60% there ends the application just as a failed written paper would.

Frequently Asked Questions

What score does a candidate need to pass the SAASS admission tests?

Article 19 of Ministerial Decision No. 1130 of 2004 requires at least 60% of the marks allocated to each test. The academy's registration guide is explicit that the threshold applies to every test separately: a candidate who falls below 60% on any one test is rated unfit and is excluded from sitting the remaining tests. There is no combined average that can rescue a failed paper.

Which tests does the SAASS admission battery actually include?

Four scored tests: an aptitude test covering Arabic, English, and computer skills; a general culture test; a psychological test; and a physical fitness test. These sit alongside document verification, a preliminary height and weight check, a full medical examination, and a personal interview before the selection committee.

Does passing every test guarantee admission to the academy?

No. Where the number of candidates who clear every requirement exceeds the places available for a course or specialty, the final selection is made by public draw under Article 33 of Ministerial Decision No. 4/2021. The draw is broadcast publicly and attended by the Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) and the Kuwait Transparency Society. The Minister of Interior then issues the admission decision.

In what language are the official tests administered?

The admission battery is administered in Arabic, with English as one of the three subjects tested inside the aptitude paper. This practice bank is written in English and is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation created by OpenExamPrep. It is not a translation of any official paper, not a simulation of the academy's test environment, and it cannot substitute for the physical fitness, medical, psychological, or interview stages.

Are there tuition or exam sitting fees for SAASS applicants?

SAASS and the Ministry of Interior do not publish any registration or test-sitting fee. Applications are made electronically through the Sahel government app or the Ministry of Interior website.
